It was Eu, Germany and they removed the abillity to redownload bought series/movies,but graciusly allowed us to keep the already downloaded stuff.
As the files where drm protected and not copy able, that was not a long time solution, espacially with the price gouging of psvita memory cards.
Im so vague, because its probably over 10 years since then.
While that obviously sucks, there was a way to keep accessing all the content you wanted to keep.
While that is a scumbag move, I can understand how regulation wasn't designed to handle a situation like that.
I'm not even sure it is today.
