One Lord of the Rings fan is fighting back after Google removed the extended edition from their digital library

The Lord of the Rings.

It seems as though digital libraries will never really replace physical media, as one film fan is learning after Google removed the complete Lord of the Rings extended edition trilogy from their library.

Earlier this August, one Lord of the Rings fan went to his Google Play account to find the trilogy missing. But when they brought the matter up to Google, the site said that even though the user paid for the trilogy, the content had been removed because it is "no longer available in our catalogue," reads the original Reddit post, which has since been deleted. Then, when the user requested a refund, Google said that wasn't possible as the purchase was made outside its 120-day refund policy.
