They still get good movies, some low bit rate 4K wouldn't hurt.

Well there is that ongoing view about Sony deleting someone's library of Movies they paid-for saying they are not licensed to them anymore so they can't own them, and that they can do that because you don't actually own the movies you bought no one does. To which the rhetoric is now - if no one owns them, is it piracy to copy them?.....
