- kortilla 6y agoThat misses the point. I have DVDs that I purchased that will work as long as I posses them and they were made before Netflix was even a company. There may technically be a license attached to them, but there is no practical way for any company to revoke my usage of them and the failure mode if any of those companies cease to exist is for them to continue working.

- paxys 6y agoIsn't it exactly the same for a song or movie you purchased from Amazon and downloaded to your hard drive?
- chrisco255 6y agoCan you download prime movies to disk? I thought it was streamed only.
- lmm 6y agoNo, that's nonsense. You do own the medium. More relevantly, the first sale doctrine means copyright does not restrict most of the ownership rights you'd expect to have.
