I moved from UK to France, and lost access to my movies on Prime.
Can you still access them with VPN?
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.
I wonder what french anti-monopoly agency will do if you file that Amazon does this.
But he "brought" it on UK so I don't think a French agency has anything with that
Wow really? This sucks! They should refund you if they don't offer the films in your region, that's hardly your fault...
