Sony erases digital content from libraries; we're reminded we don’t own what we buy
摘要
索尼近期通知英国PlayStation用户，因内容许可协议变更，自9月1日起将无法再观看此前购买的551部StudioCanal影片，包括《帕丁顿熊》《潘神的迷宫》等作品。尽管2023年索尼曾因与Discovery更新协议而撤销类似决定，但此次受影响用户仍面临已购内容从库中移除的风险。该事件再次引发关于数字内容所有权的讨论。
Sony recently informed its PlayStation customers in the United Kingdom that they will no longer be able to watch previously purchased movies and shows from production and distribution company StudioCanal. As of September 1, affected customers will no longer be able to stream 551 titles from the PlayStation Store.
In a legal notice first spotted by gaming news outlet PlayStation LifeStyle, Sony said that affected customers will lose the ability to stream titles including Outrage: Way of the Yakuza, Paddington, Paddington 2, Pan’s Labyrinth, Rambo 3, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas “due to our content licensing agreements.” As of September, Sony will remove any affected titles that UK users bought from their PlayStation library, per the notice.
It’s possible that Sony may still make a deal with StudioCanal by September 1, or even after, that would allow users to keep watching the content they bought. This happened in 2023, when Sony said it would have to pull 1,318 seasons of Discovery shows from customers’ libraries. A few weeks after its announcement, Sony said that it would not pull the content because it had updated its licensing arrangements with Discovery.
