I’m not saying this isn’t wrong, because I believe it is, but the fact is that if you digitally own anything from video games to music to movies you should understand that it can be taken from you without a moment’s notice. Is it right? Hell no! Will it continue to happen? Hell yes!

They should refund it though, no?

There are services where you pay per view/limited time access. If I pay for permanent access and unlimited viewings then I should be refunded when this changes.

If Sony can't guarantee unlimited access they they should sell "one year", "five year" or "whatever they can guarantee" access and charge accordingly. If they don't refund it's a classic bait and switch.
