Amazon Sued Over 'Purchase' of Movies That Can Vanish

A class-action lawsuit targets Amazon for allegedly misleading consumers into believing they're buying movies and TV shows outright when they're only purchasing limited-time licenses. The suit highlights the fine print buried in confirmation pages, contradicting the prominent use of the word "buy." This practice allegedly violates a recent California law mandating clear disclosure of revocable licenses. The lawsuit echoes concerns raised by gamers losing access to purchased games after server shutdowns, emphasizing the lack of transparency in digital content transactions.
