That's called renting

Then they should call it that instead of 'buy' when you rent it.

I'm not against streaming per se, but I do tend to buy DVDs as back ups, because they're so cheap and readily available. I don't particularly give a damn about resolution... a good television show in 480p is still a good television show.

Shit headline- it blames Sony where the issue is with Discovery who owns the shows.

Any major streamable rental service has the ability to pull content from your account whenever they don't renew the license to distribute it. Amazon, Microsoft, you name it. It's not just Playstation doing it, so the heat shouldn't be just on them. Always make backups of your content if you really want to retain them for a long time.
