Amazon Prime Video class action lawsuit: hearing starts today

General News

▤ Summary

Nearly 220,000 customers joined a class action filed by the Verbraucherzentrale Sachsen against Amazon over ads on Prime Video and a €2.99 monthly fee to avoid them. The suit argues Amazon unlawfully changed the terms of ongoing contracts to users' detriment; an earlier Munich court sided with critics but that decision is not final. The current Verbandklage seeks concrete compensation so affected users could reclaim paid surcharges if the court rules against Amazon. Amazon insists it informed customers in time; the oral hearing starts today but a verdict is unlikely immediately.
