It’s not the same thing. With Spotify there’s no expectation of owning the music, I pay my subscription knowing that I pay for an access to a music catalog. Although it sucks, I know some titles can disappear from my playlist from time to time, but at 10 bucks a month I don’t care. Now if I go to a digital store, select a specific movie or show or song, click « buy » or « purchase » and pay full price (sometimes more!), I have an expectation to own the media indefinitely. Not « as long as the store is licensed to distribute it ». These stores simply shouldn’t be allowed to use words like « buy », because it’s a blatant lie. Prime Video is pretty clear that you can rent movies at a small price. That’s clear, there’s no expectation of ownership either.
