Now there will be no more disappointing fraud in the home party than The "Buy" option of digital films offered by streamers Like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play and longtime perpetrator Apple TV+. When you buy well completely, it's yours in eternity unless you decide to sell it. This is a populated law and it really has to go without saying. But the arrival of digital ownership threw a key in the works, and now consumers, who have discovered that their purchase media can be drawn from their account at any time, are fighting the courts.

On August 22, 2025, Lisa Ringold filed a lawsuit for potential class action in the Federal Court against Amazon (through Hollywood reporter. This is the second such lawsuit brought against the company owned by Effef Bezos. In 2020, California Amanda Kawel sued Amazon For unfair competition and false advertising, claiming that the company secretly reserves the right to terminate users' access to the media they bought instead of being leased. The case was eventually rejected, but this time, Amazon may not be so lucky.

Recently adopted California Law stipulates that any pre-language that indicates that the user has bought or purchased a digital product must directly inform the client that the streaming service reserves the right to remove the aforementioned media at any time. Depending on how the law is interpreted legally, the fingerprint defense can be lowered. If so, this can potentially affect the theater exhibition industry in a very positive way.

Hollywood has long justified his tightening of the theater exhibition window, offering new premium rental releases, as soon as a few weeks after a big film hit the multiplexes. Streaming services are also encouraged to encourage their users to "buy" movies and television shows, the idea that this medium will always be there for the subscribers to see.

I used to do this on the occasion of when a particular movie was not available for transferring/renting other services or if I skipped a blockbuster in cinemas. (According to my History of Amazon's Supply, I set aside $ 25 for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in 2014.) But because I am a passionate fan of science fiction and skeptical of the big business while living in a country where the laws are bent and, nowadays, I never believed, I never believed. After all, I went back to buying physical mediaAnd I'm happy to do it.

Unfortunately, many films and series never receive physical media treatment. So, if, like Ms Ringold, you happen to be a Dihard Fanubard of the Nickelodeon series in the mid -2010 "Bella and Bulldogs", you may have jumped on the opportunity to buy one of your four seasons of prime minister for $ 20.79. And, you will surely be mixed when your purchase has disappeared from your streaming library.

Legally, I have no idea how this will arise, but if more courts apply that law in California, the "Buy" option for streaming services could go for good - which would be great news for theater exhibitors and physical media producers. Again, I am skeptical that Amazon will not use its mass legal and political influence to make this lawsuit from the courts as it has done in the 2020 case, but for now I will hope to hope that Ms Ringold will prevail. Because when we try to relate the meaning of "Buy", we head to treacherous, consumers-necessary waters.
