Or worse, the only way to watch it _is with a cable subscription_. What??? Spiderman Homecoming on Amazon straight up cannot be rented without signing up for a Starz subscription.

It's completely baffling. Amazon really dropped their 'customer obsession' on the video side.

Do you really think they have permission to rent it and choose not to? Starz uses Amazon for their HBO Go/Now equivalent, it's probably the only way Amazon can offer it for rent at all.

Amazon didn’t decide not to rent it. It’s up to the rightsholder.

But it is crazy that it is available for rent on iTunes but not Prime.
