I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.
EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.
- Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.
I hope this doesn’t include movies and shows that have been fully purchased…
I don’t think “fully purchased” applies to anything on amazon prime or Netflix where anything can be permanently removed.
You mean like how you fully purchased a premium account?
I wonder why there are no laws against eforced, unilateral contract adjustments like this. Especially considering “no ads” was an explicit part of the original purchase
i’d guess it’s because you can quit anytime. whenever they change the contract, you could walk away, it’s not like you’re forced to pay until the end of the year or something like my gym membership.
not defending the practice, but i think that’s the legal reasoning
