Yeah, I wonder how that works.. Similarly, Amazon.com lets you buy movies from
their library, but I wonder what happens if you don't have their Prime
streaming service.
For that reason, I tend to avoid buying movies that are part of a subscription
service. I prefer having a physical copy of a movie, or at least a video file
I can store on a hard drive or other media & play anywhere.

Sounds like Apple still has restrictions on what devices you can play their
media on.. I'm sure someone has probably come up with a way to defeat that
though. I wonder if there's software you can download that can convert your
iTunes movies to another format that you can play anywhere.
