Incident

Moviesanywhere.com, a consolidated platform that aggregates movie purchases from various online retailers into one library, notified users of a opt out change in their Terms of Service (TOS). Therefore, as per the email, the user is already opted in to a new updated agreement and will be under those conditions effective as of June 12th 2024.

Impact on Consumers

Unless the account owner manually intervenes, the updated TOS will apply arbitration and removal of unauthorized content from the user's account. Moviesanywhere.com stipulates that "You may not and agree not to redeem an unauthorized, expired, invalid, or used digital code...", thereby allowing the company to remove content which it has deemed to meet that criteria.
