You will never own anything according to the digital goods corporations. A user bought the Lord of the Rings Extended Trilogy on Google. And then, Google delisted it. The guy asked for a refund, but that's not happening. That copy of the film is gone forever. Your money's absolutely wasted.
That was the story last week, but did you know that there is an update to this? A Google Senior Customer Support specialist credited him £20 and said that they "made a mistake." At least he got a refund, right? They also included links to the films and that the films are still 100% his. The problem is he opened the links, and he has to buy them all over again.
And even so, this is one of those "no viral, no justice" cases that we Indonesians love to bring up. If this whole matter doesn't go viral, then Google wouldn't have refunded this person, but it did. And now, Google takes a loss on this case. That £20 is a nice gesture at least, but there are hundreds, if not, thousands of people that buy Lord of the Rings Trilogy and many other films digitally, and they won't get a refund for their loss, including the many that were removed by Sony. I realized that I forgot to bring this one up during my PlayStation physical release cancellations.
At this point, I refer to you all to the advice from The Man in Black.
"Have you ever considered piracy?"
