Overview

• California resident Lisa Reingold filed a proposed class action on Aug. 21–22 in federal court in Seattle, alleging Amazon misleads Prime Video customers by labeling digital transactions as purchases.
• Reingold says she bought Bella and the Bulldogs — Volume 4 in May 2025 and soon lost access, asserting that what Amazon sells is only a revocable license contingent on studio rights.
• Her complaint cites California’s Digital Property Rights Transparency Law (AB-2426), which requires clear, conspicuous disclosure or affirmative acknowledgment when access is licensed rather than owned.
• The suit argues Amazon’s only notice appears in small text at the bottom of the confirmation screen — “by buying or renting, you receive a license” — which allegedly fails the statute’s standard.
• The case seeks restitution, disgorgement, damages, and an injunction to change labeling practices; Amazon has not publicly responded, and prior similar litigation in 2020 was dismissed, with the new law potentially shifting the legal landscape.
