Do we really own the digital purchases we make from websites, even sites as big as Amazon or Disney+? This question has resurfaced on Twitter as social media personality shoe0nhead tweeted two screenshots addressing it. The first is a headline from Comicbook.com and the second is a screenshot of a thread from another Twitter account. It seems Warner Bros. has seen fit to remove some of its content.
Aside from the Warner Bros. issue, the Comicbook.com tweet by user BD reads “Marvel Studios won’t be releasing physical copies of its Disney+ shows” and includes a link to a 2021 article on the site. The article indicates that Marvel Studios has no plans to release shows such as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Blu-ray or DVD. It does not preclude this from happening but indicated that the only way to own copies of these shows at the time of writing was digitally, and this has not changed.
The second screenshot in shoe0nhead’s tweet is of a small account named TMV, a fan of the Adult Swim cartoon Final Space, a comedy-drama on the late-night network that was canceled in September 2021. Warner Bros. acquired the property and has since written it off as a loss for tax purposes. TMV’s tweet expresses outrage that his digital purchase of seasons 1 and 2 of the show have been deleted from his video library.
