964: Praying To Be Sued?

 How relaxed those big corporations about the possibility of being prosecuted? Saw a buy button for a movie on YouTube  clicked it and paid expecting normal understanding for the word "buy" but it turned out, as it seems, that you would neither receive the movie on a CD nor can download it. There was no special mark on the word "buy" to bring attention to this special application. Actually it is hard to find even with internet search Google itself explains what buying a movie means or the difference between buying and renting according to how it applies those words and that is why I said "as it seems" above.

Then I went to PayPal to dispute and after submitting my email and password I got a screen that gave me no way to access my account unless I give a mobile phone number. What if the person does not have a phone, at least temporarily?

To be fair, I just checked Amazon and at least at the window that offers renting or buying the movie I did not see essential difference from google. Both explain what renting is but abstain from doing the same for the buying option like it is blaspheme.
