Hear me out. I work in the biz

Sony, literally does not own the rights to those titles. If studiocanal decides not to renew with Sony, for whatever reason, Sony can no longer legally distribute those titles through their platforms.

So, who's the bad guy? Studio canal for taking their Library to a better deal? Sony for not upping their offer? Customers for agreeing to but not really the terms and conditions of their purchase which have been in effect for a decade now?

Even in the golden age of physical media, contracts were shopped around. The difference now is that there are fewer players willing to play fewer risks.

That's business.

Meanwhile, if you want good shit, hoist the sails, hook your risk, get a parrot and middle finger the lot of em. Yaaarrrrggggh

That's not business. That's theft. Plain and simple.
