I just canceled my Amazon Prime membership, something I was almost afraid of. Phew, it’s nice to have that off my back.

I’ve been shopping less and less at Amazon anyway and barely used prime video, so I’ll probably won’t even notice the difference.

    Would yt-dlp work?

    I wonder if it can allow you to login to your account and access the films that way?

      Amazon Prime, like Netflix, unlike YouTube (for now), uses DRM to protect videos. It would be very difficult to download them, and yt-dlp definitely doesn’t even try to bypass DRM.

          The only way I’ve got protected content to record in such a way is an HDMI splitter running into a capture card. This is how I transferred my partner’s XBox movie library to physical media

          At that point just subscribe to a VPN like Mullvad for a month and torrent whatever you need of thepiratebay or elsewhere.

            Please note that it depends on your country. Most countries don’t give a shit about private use piracy, so you don’t need a VPN.
