As always, the paying user has the worst experience. “Purchase” a show, can only watch on a certain console of a certain brand, no transfers, no backups, then it suddenly disappears from the library and nothing can be done.

If media companies insist on draconian DRM, then they should pay for full refunds to their loyal customers when one day they decide to delist that specific show.

    Sadly purchasing a phyical copy still will mean you can’t play it due to the required download for most consoles these days.

      Hence “and enjoy it whenever and wherever I want.” If they maintain control, it’s not sold. It is, at best, rented.

      Fortunately, there are often tools to enforce the first sale doctrine.
