db2,

They didn’t cut Amber out, I won’t be watching it at any price including free.

limitedduck,

They didn’t cut her out, but her role is greatly diminished compared to the first movie. It’s really a buddy comedy between Aquaman and Orm where one is almost literally a fish out of water

db2,

Still has her in it though. After what Hollywood did to Johnny based on hearsay and seeing them barely do half that when it was demonstrated that she’s a crazy liar, nope.

If they’re saying “own” on their advertisements then they should be required to refund you when they eventually have to take it away. I’m pretty sure “ownership” has a legal definition and it’s probably not too ambiguous.
It should at least be considered false advertising if they can’t guarantee access permanently.

Imgonnatrythis,

Oh, whoops. I read it as them explicitly telling me to pirate it. Yeah of course they aren’t going to let you actually own it. That doesn’t come close to making sense.

“rent a license for 15 years”

That’s the best part

They redefine “own” and “buy” in their TOS

And so do many many other online retailers that sell digital goods

NOOBMASTER,

ok that makes me sick

takeda,

I wonder if that would hold in court. They could simply use “rent” or “lease” in their ads, but they purposely are trying to mislead to imply permanence.

Mirodir,

Or “watch”. That way they don’t have to make it obvious that their customers won’t own it but still don’t straight up lie.

Anticorp,

Anything holds in court when you have more money than several small nations combined.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Then it’s not binding and they’re just waiting for the class action. Which will win, but they’ll still be richer in the end.

They actually never mention the idea of you owning content in their tos www.primevideo.com/help?nodeId=202095490&view-typ…

It’s “purchased digital content”

(iii) purchase Digital Content for on-demand viewing over an indefinite period of time (“Purchased Digital Content”)

Auli,

Which is exactly like physical media. You never owned it you bought a license to view it on that particular disk. But it also had limitations put on it.

If license ownership rights with digital custodians were as good as they are with discs, there would be no conversation happening right now. The difference now is that custodians will occasionally snap a finger and disappear your stuff, and you have no recourse.

It’s not “exactly like” physical media. The license portion is a similar concept. But the difference is that the variables that determine whether I can keep watching the content whenever I want, in perpetuity, lie solely with me as the person who physically possesses the media. The corporation from which I purchased the license can’t unilaterally decide to revoke my access to the content.

Nobody with enough money has sued… Yet…

takeda,

That sounds more like what class action lawsuit is supposed to be for.

Imgonnatrythis,

Damn straight. I want my $7.50!

takeda,

Those are more to punish companies and change their behavior, which I think is what was desired here.

Of course they are a gold mine if you are a lawyer.

This sort of blatant violation of the First Sale Doctrine shouldn’t even require a lawsuit to stop; the FTC should prosecute companies for it proactively. We need to demand our government start doing its goddamn job again.

BlueSnail,

Ross Scott of Accursed Farms is planning a lawsuit for something similar www.pcgamesn.com/…/servers-shutdown-lawsuit

brbposting,

“I’m getting a lot of multi-page emails about possible legal proceedings and dozens of people claiming they have receipts,” Ross says. “I do want to emphasize that if I don’t get the help I need, then there will be no fundraiser, there will be no lawsuit, and this practice will continue unchallenged, at least in the US.”

Ross needs your help, lawyers!
