$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it... Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

Does buy 4K means own digitaly? If yes, it's even worse than I thought..

Its only sent to you in 4K if they determine you have the bandwidth available for it. They can send it to you at whatever resolution they want to.

It's like a heaven they couldn't have even imagined in the era of VHS. You buy it from them and can use it only as they see fit. I'd rather buy bluray than this slaverism. But of course I prefer nice hevc 4k rip on my NAS browsed through Kodi with Netflix like skin. I scrape files as I download them and after more than 10 years it's really nice offline collection. 😇
