Didn't Amazon recently (in the past year or so) remove the ability to download a copy of the video you bought to any device, not only to Kindles?

- dangrossman 13y agoThey didn't remove it, but they made it darned hard to find. You have to install the Amazon Unbox app, which is truly terrible and outdated, update some licensing components in Windows Media Player through Internet Explorer, then it'll download a DRM-locked WMV of a movie you "purchased". You can do this a limited number of times per purchase.
- sergiotapia 13y agoI purchase media often now with the advent of Steam - but people wonder why other people pirate? It's these bullshit lock in mechanisms. Why bother paying when you can just click a button and have it in HD on your hard drive to play whenever and wherever you like? Note that I don't condone piracy, but I understand where these guys are coming from. I used to pirate when I was 14, but now I just buy things on Steam because it's soooooo much easier to just tap the Buy button and have it just work.
