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.

I want to do the same but still have too many films I own in Prime Video :(
Or is there a way to keep them while still deleting my account?
Aye, matey, there is a way.
@guest @cronenthal And like so many pointed out: you don’t own those movies. As painful as that realization might be. You bought a license to watch them for as long as Amazon deems it beneficial to their bottomline to offer them. They pulled the same shit with books.
And I too am of the conviction that if buying isn’t owning, then downloading isn’t stealing.
“own” No you don’t. You have bought the right to watch them as long as amazon allows. Thats also why you cant save them to somewhere else
Videos purchased in Prime Video don’t require a Prime subscription. The subscription only covers the ‘free’ stuff.
Cut your losses and don’t fall into sunken cost fallacy
Just pirate them. Once you bought a license it’s okay to do it, I give you permission
@guest @cronenthal I for my part decided to buy DVD and Blu Ray again. Many of them are a steal at flea markets etc.
If you paid for a movie under the impression you were purchasing the movie, and not a license to play it until amazon decided you can’t, I’m of the opinion you’re 100% justified in pirating the media.
But why would you need to delete your account? Just stop giving then any more money. Don’t renew your subscription, and watch the movies when you like.
Or, you know… 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I think if you connect your prime video purchases to something like Movies Anywhere or vudu/fandango, a lot of them transfer over so I think in theory you could delete your account and keep those purchases elsewhere but I’m not 100% on that. But this is one of many reasons why I’m a huge supporter of physical media.
I use Movies Anywhere and it does that for me. Most things I purchase on Amazon are available in Google Movies, and vice versa. Sounds like not all studios use it, but I haven’t had any issues yet.
Their website didn’t really explain anything, so here’s a wiki link.

Just cancel the membership but not your account?
It’s not rocket science
Yar?
Local library?

I’ve used it before. It’s not quick but it works
Would yt-dlp work?
I wonder if it can allow you to login to your account and access the films that way?
