Should streaming platforms be allowed to remove shows people have already paid to access?

E eLdavis · 8 hours ago · 2 replies · 13

One frustrating thing about streaming platforms is finding a show you love, only to discover it's suddenly unavailable. With subscription services, people are paying for access, but what about those who purchase movies digitally and expect to keep them? Do you think streaming platforms should be allowed to remove shows people have paid for, or should customers have the right to keep access to their purchases permanently?

No, actually this is very bad because it creates "lost media" and forces people to turn to piracy. If it weren't for piracy, there would be many shows, series, and so on that we wouldn't be able to watch again at all; so, clearly, this is not a good idea, and they shouldn't be doing it.

I think it would be a very bad idea for streaming platforms to remove access to shows and even movies on their platforms after the customer has paid for them. It would also not go well for the streaming platforms themselves if they started doing things like this after the customer has made the purchase.

I often get frustrated when services such as Netflix and even Disney Plus remove shows and movies after a while, as I often wish to go back and watch them as a subscriber but find out they have been rotated out.
