Of course they’re able to.

They’re a digital platform. Unless something is DRM free, this shit is likely to happen at some point.

This is why I don't buy digital media (other than games).

I pay the fee to stream but I won't give them more money to "buy" their movies or "rent" them.

What they did to me was:

When I went to watch a movie I had purchased, a message came up saying that it was no longer available on Amazon prime and to watch it I had to download an app and watch it on another service. The app was free and I didn't have to pay anything to watch it but I want to say there was something else wrong with it, like the service was free or it had commercials or something. Not sure.

How is this a surprise? How is anybody surprised? Why is this news?

This is why I use xManager for free Spotify Premium, YouTube Revanced for free YouTube premium, and torrent everything else that I need. I'm so tired of subscriptions for literally everything.

That’s why I stopped using streaming services and started robbing studio executives and using the proceeds to buy physical media from the dude parked in front of the FastTax.

This is why if they don't let me download it, then I don't pay for it.

Blu-ray FTW

This is why I stopped buying movies on this platform, on anything else, if something gets delisted but I bought it before that happened I get to keep it...

Amazon Prime done fucked up

And they reimburse you that money with a gift card? Is that even legal?

As I said(probably) in another post, you own nothing since you sing up and accept the terms. They can change the terms when ever they want, they can remove videos when ever they want or the rights for a movie or series end. If you want to have something, find a provider that sells and lets download files, so you don't lose what you buy.

Another reason physical > digital.

Donner cut is still right there on my shelf. If Amazon wants to take it, they can TRY. Good luck!

This is why I don't 'buy' media from online services. You are depending on:

• The service continuing to have the rights to the item
• You continuing to be a member of the service
• The service continuing to exist
• You having the software or sometimes the hardware to access the service

Eff all that stuff ....

This is just absurd. Often times we are paying just as much as a physical copy and now Amazon can just randomly decide to remove that content? Sounds like theft to me

Amazon has made I harder and harder to download the raw audio files of music purchases, at this point I have to download it on my PC only to get the files on my disk, if I have a phone they have even managed to identify when you are using desktop mode on your browser and still tells you to download Amazon music.
