When you buy movies on Prime, you're essentially purchasing a license to view the films as long as they remain available on the platform. You don’t own the physical or digital copy. Amazon reserves the right to remove access to these movies due to licensing agreements. Always read the terms of service for details on what you can do with your purchased content.
