Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.
Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime.
You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
You're viewing a single thread.
When you click "buy" or "purchase" on a video on Amazon Prime, you're not actually coming into ownership of that movie of TV show. Instead, you're merely paying for a limited license for “on-demand viewing over an indefinite period of time", as warned in the very small print on the company's website.

they can get away apparently because of this very small print.

plenty of room on that ad to replace 'own it now' with 'rent it until the studio deletes it or we quit paying for its rights'
yes. kinda sucks.
I believe there was a couple of attempts that tried to complain but got dismissed because the defense mentioned the complainant didn't read the TOS.
