You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
Nobody with enough money has sued... Yet...
That sounds more like what class action lawsuit is supposed to be for.
Damn straight. I want my $7.50!
Those are more to punish companies and change their behavior, which I think is what was desired here.
Of course they are a gold mine if you are a lawyer.
Ross Scott of Accursed Farms is planning a lawsuit for something similar https://www.pcgamesn.com/the-crew/servers-shutdown-lawsuit
Ross needs your help, lawyers!
