Wow I didn't mind purchasing content before... My pirate hat is now officially glued to my fucking head.

If I were to sail the seven seas, I'd probably use a lightweight Kodi build like POVico (despite it being kind of ugly) on a Chromecast w/Google TV, and sign up to Real Debrid.

You know, theoretically.

You guys, your account is just a collection of records in a database. Literally any service that you make digital purchases from -- Amazon, Steam, Sony, Microsoft, GOG, etc., can remove purchased content from your account. They just delete a single line from a database.

Y'all need to stop being surprised when digital companies are able to do digital shit to your digital stuff.
