My wife "purchased" a French movie on Amazon Prime Movies à few years ago (because it was pretty much the only way she could acquire it without piracy)

Recently she tried to watch it and Amazon just had "you can't access this content." Maybe Amazon didn't renew the license with publisher, maybe not, but in any case, Amazon really proved to me that no, we do not own digital content.

So, I pirated it for her. If doing things the "right/legal way" is going to screw us over because of fine print, then why bother?
