Judge shuts down Prime Video ads lawsuit for good
Noting that she’s already told the plaintiffs in this case the same thing in two previously dismissed filings that ran on very slight variations on the initial argument, Rothstein lays out her binding legal opinion that the addition of ads wasn’t a price increase, but a change to benefits—and that the Prime and Prime Video terms that subscribers agree to grant Amazon as much leeway as it wants to fuck with said benefits. Quoting herself (from an earlier decision that seems to have a bit less pique behind it), Rothstein acknowledges that the net effect on customers’ wallets of avoiding the ads might be the same as a price raise.
