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?

    Is there really nothing in your home right now you would be sad if someone took and just gave you the money you paid for it?

    Well of course, but I wouldn’t care much about movies or media. Especially if the media is readily available elsewhere which is always the case for movies you “bought” digitally.

      Except when they aren’t. Especially if located outside the US, it is far from obvious that a given movie is available through another service.
