You expect them to keep playing you videos they can no longer legally license to you? I'm not saying that the state of things where this can happen are fine though.
No, I think they expected that if they bought an item, they own it now, and none of this "legal license" mumbo jumbo would be relevant
maybe you should read the TOS then
Yeah, because I'm sure every consumer will read section 4-i of the Amazon prime video terms of service
TOS agreements aren't to protect the consumer, they exist to protect the service provider and can be changed by the service provider at any point.
Well what do you expect when services market themselves and charge people like they're selling them a product?
This is an intentional ploy for service providers to suggest to their customers that they are purchasing a product, not access to a product.
Imo service providers have way too much leeway with how the operate and present their services. They want the mode of profit of the production industry without all the regulation.
