Amazon Lawsuit Challenges True Ownership of Digital Movies
TL;DR
A proposed class-action lawsuit against Amazon claims that the company misleads consumers by marketing digital movies and TV shows as purchases when they are actually licenses, which can be revoked if distribution rights change. The lawsuit argues that Amazon's notice about this is insufficiently clear, and recent California laws may strengthen such cases. This raises concerns about digital ownership and the potential for digital content to disappear from users' libraries.
