Sony to Remove 551 Studio Canal Movies From PlayStation Libraries on Sept. 1 as Licenses Expire

Summary
Sept. 1 is the date Sony gave PlayStation Store customers in parts of Europe for losing access to purchased Studio Canal films, which will be removed from their video libraries.
Licensing expiration is driving the takedown, with notices posted on regional PlayStation Store pages for the UK, France, Italy and Spain covering hundreds of titles.
No refund was mentioned in Sony's notice, extending concerns that paid digital purchases can disappear when distribution rights lapse.
A reversal is still possible before the deadline: Sony previously planned to pull Discovery content over licensing issues but kept it after reaching a new agreement.
