‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services
Companies should be sued for false advertising if they claim that their streaming service allows you to "buy" or "own" anything (unless their service includes non-DRM downloads for permanent offline storage). All you're buying is temporary use of their rental network and library. Which is fine if that's what you wanted and knew you were getting, but a problem if you were expecting something else.

Skimming the actual article tells me that Acadia and Saint Mary's (the two universities at issue) either have some unusual financial problems or are using their money irresponsibly.
