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?

When they say "Own it now" they mean own it through Amazon Prime. I don't like it either but legally that is fine.

You mean lease it? Rent it? Own implies it's mine period. Not mine until they decide to remove it. A bank can't take away your house cuz they feel like it after you've paid for it.

Well, technically they're saying "own it now", not "own it forever"

Still, fuck amazon
