$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.
minus-square@ShortN0te@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglish108•2 years agoNo you are mistaken with “Or $5 mire to own it”. You own a license to watch for the amount of time the platforms decides to keep it up.
