Legally it doesn't work that way.
Although I think that the laws should be strengthened so that it does work that way.
Amazon needs to be forced to give you a permanent license any time you "buy" a digital right. Those bits need to really be permanent. The structure of Amazon's contract with the producer needs to be changed so it is clear that the consumers rights to those copies are non-revokable. And that law needs to be made retroactive to all past contracts. The termination of any contract with Amazon should only lead to Amazon no longer being able to sell new digital copies.
- zac23or 4y agoSo Amazon needs to change the button to "rent". Without the change, it is at the very least false advertising. In the end, big companies can distort the words and etc, But theft is theft, it is very clear that it is theft.
- lamontcg 4y agoIf you read the fine print you'll find that what you're buying is a license that can be revoked, so its currently perfectly legal. The law doesn't consider it theft. You'll have to get the laws changed so that contracts like that aren't legal.
- zac23or 4y agoDo TOS protect Amazon from false advertising? Fantastic. It opens up a new way to deceive consumers.
