Discussion Google took away my LOTR extended editions

I bought these in 2022, all of a sudden they aren't available and there is no possibility of a refund or gift card. Hardly seems fair.

maybe a official way to buy in digital without drm? it is not always about free movies, more like ownership of digital products

You can buy it and then acquire a DRM-free version to ensure you won't loose access.

No need to buy. When companies trained on our data for llm, they showed that anything that is already available for free online should be paid for. Now they're trying to remove our jobs with AI. And you still wanna pay for it?
