Should I sue bestbuy is I walk into it pay $21.99 for it then realize it only 8 episodes?!
Apple (when it comes to video/audio) is a distributer, they don't make the content, they just give you a convenient location to buy it.
Again Apple doesn't set pricing for video (they have a hell of a lot of pull with music), they just distribute what companies ask them to for a fee.
Okay, Noam Lazebnik, you've had your 15 seconds of dubious fame.
Most of us would contact Customer Service (and anytime that I have needed an adjustment in iTune charges, Apple has been most co-operative) -- but (reportedly) you launched a lawsuit in California claiming you are owed between $14-$22.
You may claim you are acting on behalf of others, but as a Breaking Bad subscriber (who does not expect 16 episodes spread over a two year period to be given to me as one season) you do not represent me.
If you want the extra shows free, try torrents.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge Amazon and Microsoft don't charge for a full season pass before all the episodes are available, or do they?.
It depends- the DVD/Bluray box shows playtime of the collection and most probably a list of the episodes. As that info is available to a "reasonable person", the "reasonable person" knows what they're buying. Conversely, from what I gather iTunes was including all episodes (past and future) of season 5 in the season pass, so a "reasonable person" would infer that all 16 episodes of season 5 were included in the pass. The situation is entirely different with your scenarios with bestbuy, so I don't see how the two even begin to compare...
Like I said, the contract is with Apple, and just because Apple puts (C) on the series, doesn't necessarily mean that whoever owns the copyright is the "seller" for whom Apple acts as an agent. If Apple were acting as an agent for someone without expressly identifying on whose behalf they were acting (let's be frank, we don't know what rights AMC actually has to the show) they are liable under the undisclosed principal doctrine. Like I said, law and stuff, you know...

So if he wins and you have a season pass to BB season 5 and "the final season", and Apple have to issue you a refund for "the final season", you will gladly return that refund to Apple for their corporate coffers? Give me a break!
And companies wonder why they lose to pirating...
What they'll start doing is just not calling it say season 4 and 4.1 but 4 and 5 to avoid this stuff.
This was made clear though, last year.
People still pay for TV shows![]()

An Ohio man, Noam Lazebnik, has filed a class action lawsuit against Apple for failing to provide iTunes users who purchased a "Season Pass" for Breaking Bad with the full season of 16 episodes, reports GigaOM
I'm not reading through everyone's comments to see if this has been mentioned yet; however, iTunes has employed the same B.S. tactic with the children's show "Adventure Time". This is evident by comparing the episode guide to the season offerings provided in iTunes.
Did iTunes actually promise 16 eps.
Because if it didn't his argument could get weakened. If there is a TOC about content providers having the right to change content etc, his case might end there.
Yes an it's a sucky high price etc but is it Apple's fault, perhaps not
. Although, don't season passes state something like "This season is planned to have 22 episodes"? I swear I've seen that before.
2. I purchased the Breaking Bad "Deluxe Editions" which so far include almost 200 bonus features, ranging from commentaries, behind the scenes, interviews, and all the little easter eggs like Saul commercials, music videos found in episodes, etc. Do you know of anywhere else I can get these bonuses legally?
I went to the movies, bought a ticket for "Lord of the Rings", watched it. And half a year later, I had to pay again for the second part! And what's even worse, I had to pay for the third part as well!

There _is_ a table of contents showing 8 episodes.
It's there. I just downloaded "To'hajiilee".Just wondering how long it takes for an episode to be available on the iTunes store? I really want to watch the latest one in HD but it's not there yet, even though it was shown yesterday in the US.
I smell a conspiracy... Maybe ...
