Warning email from Amazon

[Germania]

its not only a streamfab issue......even vinetrimmer has the same problems and is warning its users atm

This has to do with leaked/banned PlayReady CDM - see page 16+17 (info) ..
.. but SF use WideVine CDM for Amazon - see here

Any more hits on a clean account

I've been downloading using all my available 100 daily credits on both my regular and burner accounts and I still have not received any emails. I'd also like to mention I've almost always used a VPN on the main account. The burner account I made a few weeks ago has not been using a VPN and still no warning emails from Amazon. Both of my accounts are US based.

Just a mention from my own thoughts. If Amazon is REALLY trying to put a stop to this vs just tamping it down, then posting workarounds or info how you got things to work here, is bad in my opinion because there is zero chance they are not reading this. So saying I got XYZ to work will result in them filling that hole in short order.

agreed

I agree it does seem random, and versions 6247/6248 may have fixed it. BUT activity is still being looked at going several weeks back, before these versions were out and emails are still being sent relating to older activity. This is not speculation. Nothing in the email states what or WHEN the triggered event(s) occurred. But I know that the older usage is an issue that may still result in a response.

I get that it makes sense to assume its just recent things, but who knows how they're investigating the flags and or if its back-logged.

I really hope the new versions did address it, but sadly older stuff may not be out of the clear just yet.

I agree with this assessment which is why many of us have made new accounts and use it only for this and are reporting on usage. There is no backlog in these accounts so if it is triggering then we will know based on this. For me so far all is well using only 6247/6248 both included with prime and purchased items

After posting this, I saw people on Reddit saying that their accounts had been banned. Including people who had hardly downloaded anything.

Yeah once again it’s random and I’m not sure it’s still happening after the new updates

[FreddieGellar]

Ok so then how do we explain the account bans then?

That's very strange. I also received an email from a different region than mine. And a curious fact is that the email I received ends like this:

“How can I verify that this email is from Amazon? Emails from Amazon are always sent from @amazon.com.”

This is the first time I've received an email from Amazon that needs to state that it's official.

I beginning to wonder if it really was Streamfab that triggered this, because someone at reddit said he never used Streamfab but he still got the email, and people getting the email from a region they don't use... It's beginning to look like they're shooting in blind

Anyone get the Amazon email again when downloading videos from StreamFab 6247/6248 with a new Amazon account?

Its hard to say what is triggering the emails because not everyone is reporting and also they could have triggered before the software update, i for one have rented and downloaded a few things and grabbed stuff that was just on prime and have been fine, i dont use vpn and i use amazon.com.
