Casualties afoot as Sony merges Funimation with 2021-acquired Crunchyroll.

How long is “forever”? When it comes to digital media, forever could be as close as a couple of months away.

Funimation, a Sony-owned streaming service for anime, recently announced that subscribers’ digital libraries on the platform will be unavailable after April 2. For years, Funimation had been telling subscribers that they could keep streaming these digital copies of purchased movies and shows, but qualifying it: “forever, but there are some restrictions.”

    This actually IS theft, selling you something and then stealing it back!

        I vaguely remember reading that terms of service that violate basic rights are not going to be upheld in court.

        I’m not a FUNimation subscriber but I hope that the people who are take Sony to court
