If you buy something, isn’t it yours?

Not according to Google.  As of tomorrow, if you bought a video from Google Video, it won’t work anymore.  Just for chucks and giggles, and to amuse my son, we “bought” the Choo-Choo episode since he loves trains.  We watched it and watched it.  As of tomorrow, I’ll have to tell him Google won’t let him watch it any more.

So, I’m stuck in a predicament.  Do I disappoint my child who wants to watch what he paid for?  Or, do I download it and he lives happily ever after?  I already know what my decision is, please tell me what you would, or intend to do.
