11. A further wrinkle in this is you have to be a Disney Plus member to access it

A movie purchased from Amazon is accessible even if you are no longer a Prime member.

It is an interesting model. Chances are Mulan will be a regular in the Disney Plus catalog in the future so the "purchase" has little long term economic value (still if you want to see Mulan now - that has value).

I feel a little embarrassed when I look back at my movie purchases (I have only bought five streaming movies over the years and one was as cheap as renting) because now three of them are on readily accessible streaming services that I currently have. The same for the five or so seasons of various TV shows which I have purchased. I guess I had to have them at the time.

I doubt you'd own the bytes. I think at best you'd own a right to view as long as it is on offer Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2020 #9

Relax folks. There must be a rental price which will be much lower... brush Aug 2020 #6

Great Price, considering... BasicallyComplicated Aug 2020 #7

It's a reasonable price woodsprite Aug 2020 #8

Certain movies and tv shows have a time value in seeing it exboyfil Aug 2020 #10

More than reasonable. I imagine you can add the title to your Movies Anywhere account. stopbush Aug 2020 #12
