Most of the time when you "purchase" a movie from a streaming service, you're
not actually purchasing the movie forever, you're renting it (just like you
would from Blockbuster, back in the day). That's why it's usually only around $5
or so, and you're told before you make said purchase that you are able to
"access" or "view" the movie for a certain timeframe.. 24-48 hours, maybe.
The fact that said movie may have been removed at a later time, had absolutely
nothing to do with someone's movie rental.

Nick
