| ~ In Other News ~ Two proposed class actions are claiming that United and Delta charged premium prices for windowless seats that the airlines misrepresented as having windows. While flyers don’t end up stuck in the dreaded middle seat, the cases allege that the airlines misled consumers during the seat selection process by representing on their respective websites that every wall-adjacent seat has a window. Read up on the lawsuits here. | A recently filed lawsuit is claiming that Amazon “sells” movies and TV shows on its streaming platform without properly notifying customers that they are only purchasing a license to access the digital content. The complaint explains that, unlike a physical DVD, content sold on Amazon Prime Video may disappear from a user’s digital library at any time, if, for example, Amazon replaces the work with a different version or loses the rights to it. You can find more on the case over on this page. | ~ Forward to a friend ~
