Indeed I did not read that. But it doesn’t change anything. I’d say it underscores da Silva’s complaint.
da Silva: “Apple is deleting my movies!”
MacObserver: “Apple didn’t delete his movies.”
MacObserver: “Also, the movies in da Silva’s library disappeared. Maybe because he moved to Canada.”
jiggyboy: “This not a rebuttal to his point, that he paid for movies and now he can’t watch them.”
MacObserver: “Also, Apple is taking care of da Silva.” (For deleting his movies.)
I see nothing in this article about how anybody “is taking care of da Silva,” nor in his twitter, but that’s another matter.
That's been clarified. They did not "disappear" from Da Sllva's iTunes movie library, they just would not run. He got a "This title is not available to you" alert and the suggestion that he needed to purchase it to see it when he had already purchased it in Australia.
Da silva tried to re-download them and could not. Again, incorrect license for Canada.
