Really need a dbase/excel spreadsheet of user alias, amazon country (DE,US,UK, etc.), country, VPN/-yes/no/which, fake account/real, junk payment/real payment, download only, watch and download, rip rentals/no rip rentals, repeated trial signups with fake accounts/yes/no.
9 months of zero issues here. I kinda have my behaviors all as legit as I can make them.
Yeah, again, no one knows for sure any method that's 100% safe other than not using streamfab. I never had issues either, and I used the Amazon downloader for a long time.
In some ways, I was lucky as I was only downloading 1 or 2 shows, and they went into a break before this first started.
So it seems Amazon may not have any evidence of me downloading with StreamFab, as I never got a notice.
And if the penalty was not so severe that I could even risk a ban, I would try to download again, as I never rented anything from Amazon, so then I could not download anything rented.
I never ever used a VPN; they can be detected too easily. It would be interesting if I got a notice if I tried a few downloads, but not willing to risk it as I order too much stuff from Amazon.
I am considering cancelling the Prime membership as I really don't get the packages that much faster now, like it was some years back with Prime delivery.
But at the same time, I am trying other programs, and they have yet to send up any warning signals to Amazon. So right now, canceling will have to wait.
Others should cancel as well, as if you can't download, what's the point? It's crazy because people are willing to pay the prime membership and want to download, and Amazon balks at them.
But I have seen a huge influx of pirating again, as there are those who use other methods to do webrips from Amazon and pirate the webrips to others (meaning making it available to download other ways, like torrents or other means). And then what does Amazon really gain with the increase in the pirating of their content?
Also, it's getting to feel like a long, extended, never-ending nightmare with these notices.
I also wanted to add, looking at this topic, it currently only has 82 posts, and not all are people saying they got notices, so it's just another confusing fact. Even if it was all 82, that's not much compared to the number of Amazon members.
