What are you talking about? Amazon's digital video purchases don't require any monthly access fee. He paid £5.99 with the idea that he'll get to keep it indefinitely, just like a physical DVD. I don't get why you think it is ok for a seller to revert the sale of a digital item at any time for just the purchase price + £5 but (I presume?) not other sales?

Ignoring all the rest, the issue is simply that it was never bought. He bought a licence to access it. If he expected to "keep" anything, he was an idiot.

I don't think it's okay, but if I'm dumb enough to waste money on this stuff, it's nice to get something extra for my stupidity.
