I moved from UK to France, and lost access to my movies on Prime.

I wonder what french anti-monopoly agency will do if you file that Amazon does this.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

But he "brought" it on UK so I don't think a French agency has anything with that

Can you still access them with VPN?

[–] icedterminal@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Amazon actively blocks VPNs when using their Video or Music services. They also do a DNS check. It's a game of whack-a-mole. Your VPN provider has an IP that works, 24 hours later Amazon have it on the VPN blacklist.

Didn't try, but I imagine it could work. But more effort than I'm ready to put in to watch movies I paid for. I now stopped buying digital movies completely. Not worth it.

Wow really? This sucks! They should refund you if they don't offer the films in your region, that's hardly your fault...
