By
Kosta Andreadis
Summary
Sony has announced it will remove all Studio Canal movies and series from European PlayStation libraries by September 1, 2026, due to expiring content licensing agreements. This means previously purchased digital content will become inaccessible without refunds, highlighting the fundamental difference between digital purchases (which are license-based) and physical media ownership. The move affects over 500 titles and serves as a stark reminder that consumers do not truly own digital content they've paid for.
