I bet there was no obligation for funimation to keep "purchased" content for life.

There is no owning when we are talking about digital stream copies

Welp, no owning = no stealing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Exactly. Somewhere in the Funimation ToS, there is almost certainly a clause that absolves them of any obligation of keeping anything you bought available to you at all times. You never owned anything you bought from Funimation in the first place, so there is no obligation to fulfill for Crunchy Roll.

This shit should be hella illegal. Same with 600 page long ToS. You're buying a movie, not negotiating a global trade agreement. Companies should not be allowed to redefine words in their fine print. Whoever approved these practices should be dragged into town square, tarred, and feathered.
