Because they have many shows for its Asian users
Like crack dealers. You get interested in a show that they include with your prime membership, then just as your about to watch Season 2 episode 6, it's only available to rent or buy.
This is absolutely like what I was going to post. I totally agree. You only get one season of anything for "free", even if it's a show from the 1960s.
They have their own original shows, but if you're looking for certain things that are only on another source, you have to pay for those as well (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)
So these streaming services really aren't alternatives to each other.

Besides some original programming, the only interesting thing about Amazon Prime Video is their "X-Ray" feature which is like a visual imdb overlay, but includes a scene break down (similar to what DVD's often had in the early days).
When you pause playback, of for example a tv episode, X-Ray immediately shows you pictures of all the characters in this episodes with imdb pictures of the actors portraying them. It includes a tunefind.com-like Music feature showing all the songs in this episodes and lets you jump to each of the scenes where it can be heard, and X-Ray includes scene/chapter selection as well as trivia for the current video.
""You may continue with this billing address, but Prime Video streaming, Prime Music, and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library won't be available outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Prime shipping benefits are available to shipping addresses in the contiguous U.S.""
So i just keep my money & watch those content in the same quality using a torrent site ... who's laughing?!
What makes a country so special that a digital content can not leave, and who forces companies to stay in a country like that with such rules?
Pathetic and unbelievable. When the u.s. became china?
It happens often with online content. Not just US, I have found content from the UK not available to me (in Canada). Even for news sites, not just entertainment videos. In the case of Amazon, I tried to find out about availability and got no where. So I am assuming it is US only.
