RedBox found itself bankrupt, largely due to mismanagement from executives and shut down all of its services, including not just the RedBox kiosks, but also their streaming platform.

From the shutdown, all users who had purchased content could not download or view any content, including one Roku user who claims that they lost approximately $10,000 of media.

RedBox did not redefine terms such as “own” or “purchase” in their terms of service like Sony ([[EULA roofie#Sony PlayStation Store|hyperlink]]). RedBox only limits in their terms of service how many devices purchased content can be downloaded to.
