Other defendants include DVDShelf and Media Wholesale UK, which are referred to as “unknown business entities,” and seven websites connected to the DVD sales.

Amazon also wants a court order requiring PayPal and other financial institutions to “transfer to Plaintiffs all amounts arising from Defendants’ unlawful counterfeiting and infringing activities.”

It received generally favorable reviews from critics but extremely low ratings from the audience, according to scores on both Metacritic and RottenTomatoes.

Amazon’s lawsuit boasted that Rings of Power “attracted more than 25 million viewers on its first day streaming on Prime Video, breaking all previous records.”

Some people who bought the DVDs may have been fooled into thinking they were genuine or simply lacked access to Amazon Prime streaming.

For instance, a customer left a one-star review of DVD Shelf’s website in 2021 stating that despite the company’s ‘claim[] to only sell genuine products,’ the customer found the DVDs were ‘of EXTREMELY poor quality’ and are ‘absolutely pirated copies,’ with, among other issues, episodes missing, sync problems, editing issues, and faulty discs."
