More than two years ago, Amazon sued a network of websites that sold pirated DVDs of Prime Video exclusives such as The Rings of Power and The Boys. The defendants, believed to be based in China, never showed up in court. This week, a California federal judge awarded Amazon $6 million in damages and granted a broad domain transfer request, targeting registrars and registries.

The sum doesn't mean anything to Amazon (whether they lose it or gain it), but it probably means a ton to the people they sued.

If they are based out of China, then Amazon won't get a single cent out of them. They will be back up with a new name and website soon.

It probably doesn’t because they are not gonna pay it.
