What Does Amazon’s ‘Buy’ Button Actually Mean?
Many Amazon Prime Video users believe that clicking ‘Buy’ means they truly own the movie or TV show. However, a recent lawsuit challenges this assumption, arguing that Amazon often only grants a license to stream the content—not full ownership. The legal issue centers on how clearly Amazon discloses these terms to buyers. 
Why This Matters to Viewers
If you ‘buy’ a digital movie on Amazon, you might lose access if Amazon loses licensing rights or removes the title from its platform. This means your purchase is not permanent. Many consumers feel misled because the platform uses the word ‘Buy’ instead of ‘Rent’ or ‘License.’ The lawsuit hopes to push Amazon to make their policies clearer, so users fully understand what they are paying for.
Digital ownership remains a hot topic as more people shift to streaming. It’s important to read the fine print before purchasing digital media and to stay updated on your rights as a consumer.
