A month ago we reported how the popular documentary Hoaxed was suddenly removed by Amazon and removed from Amazon Prime Video and video-on-demand.

Hoaxed documented how the media manipulate the news to build narratives and was one of the top documentaries on the platform until it was removed.

While it was also removed from Prime Video, at the time, people that had purchased the documentary through Amazon were saying that, even though they had purchased it (not rented it), when Amazon removed the movie from the platform, it disappeared from their library and they were no longer able to play it again.

Now, Amazon is being sued for this practice of leading people to believe that when they “Buy” a movie, they own it.

In the realm of digital space, where products and services are not tangible and physical, the implications of licenses greatly differ. With that being said, the general public is yet to be fully aware of what licenses can mean in the digital medium especially.

From the OP article:
“Though some consumers may get lucky and never lose access to any of their paid-for media, others may one day find that their Video Content is now completely inaccessible. Regardless, all consumers have overpaid for the Video Content because they are not in fact owners of the Video Content, despite have paid extra money to ‘Buy’ the product,” the lawsuit states.
Why people buy from a rip-off worm like Bezos, in the first place, I'll never know. And I doubt finding out that you really are over-paying for a product you can't actually buy will turn many, if any, customers away.
But if customers know about this, and continue to fall for it, then all I can say is, BOHICA!
