As I said(probably) in another post, you own nothing since you sing up and accept the terms. They can change the terms when ever they want, they can remove videos when ever they want or the rights for a movie or series end. If you want to have something, find a provider that sells and lets download files, so you don't lose what you buy.

At least in Germany there are Limits to t&c's. To put it simply, there musn't be any ugly surprises.

The merchant retroactively cancelling your purchases would be an ugly surprise of that nature.
