I’ve always felt uncomfortable about “buying” digital media that stays on a cloud. Vudu (Walmart) offers this as well as Google I believe. Renting digitally bothered me less because the notion that it’s temporary is inherent to renting. The above situation solidifies my concerns. I’ve “bought” some media this way but I will never do so again. Cancelled Netflix as of last month as well.
Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.

I really hope it’s a surprise to no one. Having full control over the access to any media is the core principle behind any online-only, DRM-based service.

Yeah, people need to realize they’re not owning the media, simply “renting it”.
