That sounds like a Sony problem to me. Who ever I paid, gives me the refund. If they have to go get it from someone else, that’s their problem.

But per the agreement you the customer signed when you bought your license to enjoy that media it is not legally Sony's problem.

This happens just about every single time a license holder pulls their stuff from any online service. It's happened with all the big names. Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. there's always a major outcry about it but usually it's not the service itself but the license holder who is at fault. My view is we should start holding them accountable.
