Ianal, but I assume they might get into trouble for the use of words like buy and own, if this is how they treat the purchases.

This is just absurd. Often times we are paying just as much as a physical copy and now Amazon can just randomly decide to remove that content? Sounds like theft to me

Amazon has made I harder and harder to download the raw audio files of music purchases, at this point I have to download it on my PC only to get the files on my disk, if I have a phone they have even managed to identify when you are using desktop mode on your browser and still tells you to download Amazon music.

Another reason physical > digital.

Donner cut is still right there on my shelf. If Amazon wants to take it, they can TRY. Good luck!

Further proof why digital goods are bullshit, and are never really yours, despite spending full price on it.
