Sony is facing a $7.9 billion lawsuit that could impact over 9 million players. They’ve been accused of deleting purchased movies, TV shows, and games—items customers thought they owned forever.

This lawsuit, filed by consumer advocate Alex Neill, challenges Sony’s alleged abuse of its dominant position, charging high prices and restricting competition on the PlayStation Store.

I am not saying you can or you can't, but if you could, and I'm not saying you can, I would have full DRM-free backups of every Blu-ray I own.

I'm not saying they would or they wouldn't, but if they would, and I'm not saying they would, they would distribute the keys to the Blu-ray players online so other people could use their rightfully purchased discs in any way they pleased on their own hardware.

I'm not saying you you should or shouldn't, but if you did, I've heard it's possible to access a backup of the original even if you don't have an original disc.
