Warning email from Amazon

[slottedpig]

Might be pure coincidence, but I also got my warning after an accidental free trial ended. Except I didn't download a "free" movie, but two seasons of a show which I bought on sale within the trial period. It was exactly after the trial ended.

Before or after July 28th? Which version of software?

I got the warning without renting or buying a video.. I was accidentally bumped into a free trial of Amazon Prime when buying something unrelated on amazon.fr. I used the trial to download two series on amazon.co.uk. The warning came after the trial had finished.

slottedpig I started a new account last Tuesday, just after the update and the message from Wilson, I’m using most of my 100 coins per day (for testing) and still no email / message on Amazon, if something happens I will let you know.

Edit: no rental yet.

TY!

this is probably a long shot, but mention of the people who got a notice were on a non .US Amazon account. I assume US accounts have gotten it too?

Yes. Mine is a US account.

Ok but how many of the notices and downloads happened after July 28? We are trying to gauge whether the update actually fixed anything or not.

Afraid I can't help with that question, but I'm very curious to know that as well. I received the notice on the 21st and haven't downloaded anything from Amazon since then.

Sure, but I'm not sure why that would matter. I would honestly be surprised if the downloads of purchased videos outnumbers the downloads of titles available with Prime.

FWIW, I also have the Ad Free Prime Video plan.

Yes, but you bought it!

I received the email and have never rented anything from Amazon. I mostly downloaded purchased content (which I did not return), with a small amount of Prime titles that are not available to buy. I have not watched any streams from them recently, though.

Well, that supports Jack's theory.

I still don't have an email, and I'm not lending anything.

Who received the email WITHOUT renting or buying anything?

Germania, did you do it?

After Prime Days, I rented two titles from amazon.de for € 0.99 each
(July 17) and received the warn mail from amazon.co.uk on July 24.
In between, I only dl two Prime titles (with the account) on the 22th.
And I have never seen a full Amazon stream online in my life.

But I still have time to watch it (or not?):

Rentals include 30 days to start watching this video and 48 hours to finish once started.

On July 20, I rented a title (unwatched) in Italy without a Prime membership
and did not receive a warning for this other free Amazon account.
