    I think Amazon 8s full of bull. It clearly says rent the movie or buy it when you go to purchase a video. If you don't own it as they say then you are renting it. They believe that they have the right to remove anything that they want from videos that you yourself have already purchased and this is wrong. If I purchase something off their site then they need to leave it the hell alone because it is mine, I paid to BUY it not rent it so as far as I am concerned it is mine so hands off Amazon, otherwise they owe me an extreme amount of money. If I buy something from the store, nobody come to my home and tells me that I can't have it anymore. I bought it with my money so don't tell me what I can do with it unless you want to give me all my money back. LEAVE OUR PURCHASES ALONE AMAZON AND CHANGE YOUR POLICIES BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THE WRONG AND DON'T TELL ANYONE THAT THEY CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT OFF YOUR SYSTEM ONTO A SEPARATE DRIVE TO PLAY OUTSIDE OF YOUR SITE. THEY BUY IT THEN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT.
    I agree Amazon is in the wrong, but Apple uses the same "Buy" terminology on its movie purchase pages. Does any movie website use the right words?

    This is an issue that I actually thing Congress should be getting upset about. I.e., companies are saying "BUY" but they don't actually mean it.

    "Buy is a lie."     Catchy protest slogan there.
    But you are buying something...you're buying the license to the film and conditions apply...conditions you agree to that state in advance that you may have access to the media cut off at some time in the future. If I "buy" a ticket to a movie, I can't just keep going back and watching it as many times as I want. I have "bought" a limited amount of access to a service. You're applying a very limited definition to the word "buy". You can "buy" lots of things that you don't get to keep forever.

  • Apple purges rival products from store ahead of rumored AirPods Studio, new HomePod

    Apple is opening itself for an antitrust case by removing competition from the store.


    There are some legitimate antitrust discussions that can be had about Apples business dealings, but this is NOT one of them. It’s comments like this that muddies up what antitrust means in the first place. This is akin to Old Navy not selling Levi’s Jeans. Nothing wrong with that. You can get those jeans anywhere else and Old Navy is not stopping you. Same with these products being removed from the Apple store.

    I don't think a 15% discount is anything to sneeze at. It's better than nothing.

    Imagine the Apple Stores not opening and you can't repair your shit

    If the US thinks about freedom this way, why don't people have freedom to do what they want with their devices.
    This specific case took place in Norway, not the US

    Did Covid-19 ban TV cameras? Why is everyone suddenly using iPhone?
    A TV camera is more than just a bigger camera, it’s a whole system of equipment that needs to be handled and shot by professionals. An iPhone is a simple small all-in-one system that can be easily deployed to people in quarantine.
