Sony removes movies purchased from the PlayStation Network

Some time ago Sony was trying to shut down servers related to consoles like the PlayStation 3, as well as announced that the PlayStation Store would stop selling or renting movies and TV series in the face of the superiority of platforms such as HBO or Netflix. Nevertheless, users were supposed to be able to continue enjoying the content they had purchased to date.

However, in a new installment of how DRM ends up affecting legitimate users more than the ones it’s trying to stop, users in Germany and Austria are going to see how more than 300 movies are going to disappear from their libraries, thus losing the money invested in Sony’s multimedia content.

This also puts the focus on an important problem, and that is that if we do not have a local copy of a digital content that we can always access, we are always susceptible to a problem of this type, where a third party company removes content from us that we have paid for.

In any case, this has happened, as we mentioned, in Germany and Austria, but nothing prevents Sony from gradually doing this in more and more countries until you finish with all the content of your platform and close it. In this link we can see the list of deleted movies.
