All over the world people take a stand against tyranny. This is just internet tyranny. The button on Amazon says "buy" but the fine print says "borrow".
A class action legal solution with a lawyer would mean that even if we won, each user would be award one free movie while the legal team got millions.
At the very least every single person in the US who ever clicked "buy" can take Amazon to small claims court. Maybe you lose, but Amazon will get the message.
In New Hampshire a small business took Instagram to small claims court for terminating their account without reason. Instagram sent lawyers, but the case was appealed to the NH Supreme Court for review. (They sent it back!) Imagine if every person who had an account terminated for no reason or lost access to a movie they "bought" then took the case to small claims court.
The problem is that Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook can buy laws. I'm not saying these are the only ones, just big internet ones. And the courts enforce these laws. Sounds anti-democratic to me.
