Sony imposes a one-time online license check for PS digital games, CBOMB concerns linger

Sony confirms a one-time online license verification for newly purchased PS4/PS5 digital games; after this check, the license can stay valid offline indefinitely if the check occurs within 15 days of purchase, replacing the earlier 30-day offline window. Sony did not address the unresolved CBOMB issue, which could prevent online validation if a CMOS battery dies and potentially lock out future titles. The move is speculated to curb a refund exploit, though Sony hasn’t confirmed this, and there are no additional official updates yet.

PS5 DRM Alarm: 30-Day License Checks Spark Preservation Fears as Sony Goes Quiet

A growing debate surrounds an alleged new DRM on PlayStation consoles that requires online license verification every 30 days for newly purchased digital games. Recent tests (including a PS5 Pro) reportedly show the system displaying a license check and locking content if the CMOS battery is removed, though access can be restored by reconnecting to the internet. Sony has not commented, fueling concerns about future preservation if servers go offline. The issue remains unconfirmed as either a bug or intentional DRM, with updates and videos continuing to surface while the company awaits a statement.

PS4 30-Day License Window Sparks Confusion Over Sony DRM Move

Reports of a 30-day expiry timer for newly bought PS4 games have sparked DRM concerns, but the facts are unclear: there’s no official Sony comment, reports are inconsistent, and some say the timer could be a bug tied to exploits being fixed. The issue appears mainly on PS4 and not consistently verifiable on PS5, with speculation about online checks, possible CMOS-battery angles, and comparisons to a similar PS3/Vita glitch from 2022. A clear stance from Sony is awaited as the situation develops.

Star Trek: Resurgence Exits Digital Stores Soon—Grab It While You Can

Star Trek: Resurgence is set to be pulled from digital storefronts as its licensing expires, with Steam, Epic, PS4/PS5, and Switch listings going offline soon (Xbox storefronts have already removed it). Existing Steam buyers can still access the game, and physical discs may still be found. The 2023 narrative-driven title is noted for its TNG-era cameos and choice-based gameplay, and prices were around $24.99 on several platforms at release.

Amazon Lawsuit Challenges True Ownership of Digital Movies

Amazon Lawsuit Challenges True Ownership of Digital Movies

A proposed class-action lawsuit against Amazon claims that the company misleads consumers by marketing digital movies and TV shows as purchases when they are actually licenses, which can be revoked if distribution rights change. The lawsuit argues that Amazon's notice about this is insufficiently clear, and recent California laws may strengthen such cases. This raises concerns about digital ownership and the potential for digital content to disappear from users' libraries.

Rochester Cannabis Shop Raided: Owner Challenges Office of Cannabis Management

A cannabis shop in Rochester, New York, called Triclomes, LLC, was raided by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) for allegedly selling THC products without the proper license. The owner, John Brown, claims that the state overstepped its authority during the raid and plans to fight it in court. Surveillance video shows OCM members confiscating products without testing or counting them. Brown estimates that between $1 million and $2 million worth of assets were seized. The state argues that Triclomes and other shops raided in recent months do not have permission to sell THC products to recreational-use customers.

EU leads the way with world's first comprehensive crypto regulation, while US falls behind.

EU states have approved the world's first comprehensive set of rules to regulate crypto assets, requiring firms that want to issue, trade and safeguard crypto assets, tokenized assets and stablecoins in the 27-country bloc to obtain a license. The move puts pressure on countries such as Britain and the United States to follow suit and come up with global norms for cross-border activity. Regulating crypto has become more urgent for regulators after the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
