1082: Video Streaming Services Begging To Be Sued?

 I talked before about how on youtube they without explanation before the purchase use the word "buy" to mean that the purchased video remains with them not something you would receive. And if there could be give and take in arguments about this, how about the other issue I mentioned and they also still do it? I just purchased a video that was supposed to be high definition but the max resolution option on their own website for it is 480p. The video being a high definition was even not a secondary thing. Instead I got two options for that video (an episode of Chicago PD) standard definition at 1.99 or high definition at $2.99. 

...

I just tried the same with vudu through equivalent interface and lack of warning and the result also seem to be the same. I paid for "HDX" but the quality does not look better than the 480p of youtube, although I did not see what confirms that on the former. So, it seems like this is a common practice.
