This is huge and not like what happened last month.

Last month they removed access to "Deadly Dentists | Season 1" and similar shows that are also broadcasted 24/7 everywhere on TV, so not too many people "purchased" them.

But for anime the chance that a big fan is losing access to a massive collection of titles paid thousands of dollars is much higher.

Sony didn't learn from the backlash that happened less than two months ago?????

I'm waiting for the class action lawsuit on this.

Their TOS most likely forbids class action suits. It most likely requires individual or “small batch” arbitration that benefits Sony.
