shelleviction
/ˌʃɛlɪˈvɪkʃən/nounVerified NewThe removal of a purchased film, book, or album from a digital library by the seller who sold it.
The receipt says bought; the platform says gone, usually for a licensing reason the buyer never agreed to. Shelleviction is ownership's paper trail colliding with license terms — the shelf was always rented, and the eviction notice arrives as an error message.
Etym. — *shelf* + *eviction*; dispossession from one's own library.
