Ownership rights are buried in the fine print and downloading or buying physical copies may be the only ways to keep your favourites

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be able to access the films and TV shows they had bought. *

    @SorteKanin I guess that the contracts for movies and shows have a shorter period than they do with video games. Having longer contracts and maintaining them helps. It also helps when companies have an interest in keeping their content available, unlike Warner-Discovery.
