I just canceled my Amazon Prime membership, something I was almost afraid of. Phew, it’s nice to have that off my back.
I’ve been shopping less and less at Amazon anyway and barely used prime video, so I’ll probably won’t even notice the difference.

Amazon Prime, like Netflix, unlike YouTube (for now), uses DRM to protect videos. It would be very difficult to download them, and yt-dlp definitely doesn’t even try to bypass DRM.
Can you record the screen while watching them?
The only way I’ve got protected content to record in such a way is an HDMI splitter running into a capture card. This is how I transferred my partner’s XBox movie library to physical media
There are some tools that claim to do that. Never tried them, though.
In theory, the DRM plugins should prevent the screen to be recordable, but that might be easier to circumvent than the whole DRM scheme.
Also there are small USB sticks on Ali Express for a few bucks, that tell the host, that they’re a USB webcam. In reality, they have a HDMI input and are capable to use HDCP, so that they’re seen as a valid display for copy protected content. If you want to go the manual route, this is also an easy way to record.
At that point just subscribe to a VPN like Mullvad for a month and torrent whatever you need of thepiratebay or elsewhere.
Please note that it depends on your country. Most countries don’t give a shit about private use piracy, so you don’t need a VPN.
I think so, but only on some devices. As far as I understand, you can only play in high resolution on devices which support stronger hardware DRM. On those devices recording the screen might be harder/impossible.
I never tested this theory though, so please do not quote me on this.
