More than two years ago, Amazon sued a network of websites that sold pirated DVDs of Prime Video exclusives such as The Rings of Power and The Boys. The defendants, believed to be based in China, never showed up in court. This week, a California federal judge awarded Amazon $6 million in damages and granted a broad domain transfer request, targeting registrars and registries.

No, but they shouldn't be allowed to sue for physical piracy on products they do not produce physically.

If someone goes to the trouble of designing and printing box and disc art for a product the rights holder won't do, that's a problem on the rights holder side.

There's a demand for physical, fill it, and make the pirate product irrelevant.
