Did they pay attention to what happened with Disney and
Doctor Who?

I'd say the "give" was more likely a case of "sold"...
It seems $1 billion was the price...
"Amazon paid more than $1bn to take creative control of James
Bond"

Well this could be a long transition

Let's hope Amazon/Eon lose the trademark and then in 10
years time all of James Bond will become public domain and
anyone can make it without a political and sexual agenda
aimed at grooming children. Still, they can't copyright a
number so anyone can call James Bond 007 and make new
movies that are faithful to Ian Fleming's original vision.
The thing is, making films and TV shows "faithful" to the
original books is not the way production companies like to do
things... more so these days. They always make changes...
often for the worse. If the next Bond movie doesn't do well
you are more likely to see a "Jane Bond" Amazon Prime
mini-series in ten years time than something faithfully
adapted from an Ian Fleming novel.
Let James Bond end.
Yeah, Amazon paid all that money to take over "James Bond" just
to let it end...
There's a bigger issue at play here as it's things like this
that show how rich and powerful the big streaming companies are
these days and why most of the decent content is now on those
services whilst regular TV is full of reality crap, quiz/game
shows and cooking shows...
Normal TV channels, even the BBC, cannot compete with all the
money that the Amazon's and Netflix's are throwing at things...
so it will be the consumer (i.e. us) that is going to suffer in
the long run.
Who knows what Amazon is aiming at.

Jeff Bezos has more than enough money to burn. He's already burned $1
billion on The Rings of Woke and burning another $1 billion on Double
Woke Seven isn't going to make even a microscopic hole in his pockets.
Besides which only a degenerate fool would pay $1 billion for a
franchise whose exclusive rights expire in less than 10 years time, and
Bezos is that degenerate fool in carinate and doesn't care for anything
except for bragging, virtue signalling and prestige, the self centred
stupid retard. He'd be better off spending his billions helping Elon
Musk go to Mars and stay there with him if he doesn't respect Ian
Fleming's legacy the way Fleming intended it.

There's nothing stopping regular TV making decent new dramas, except for
the woke degeneracy that has taken away their ability to do so.
Normal TV channels, even the BBC, cannot compete with all the
money that the Amazon's and Netflix's are throwing at things...
Yes they can. They can compete with coming up with good stories and
ideas and not hiring degenerate woke retards to write them for an
audience of bigoted activists who will never be pleased by anything
unless they've totally destroyed it so that nobody can ejoying like
they've done to Doctor Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Wheel of Time, and
The Lord of the Rings, because they can't enjoy anything and watch
nothing since they're mentally retarded.
so it will be the consumer (i.e. us) that is going to suffer in
the long run.
Far left woke retards don't care about consumers since they're Marxist
Fascists and Commies.
Bond did fight threats like MArxists.

Maybe Jeff Bezos and the other Amazon shareholders and
executives know a bit more than you?
I know it's highly unlikely of course, but if Amazon have paid
all that money there is a possibility that their information
gives them a reason to do so?

Amazon doesn't make any money from streaming, it makes it from
selling goods with free next day shipping. That is why people
subscribe to Amazon Prime.
It must make some money from its Prime Video service, some shows
carry adverts and that means income. Also people use Prime Video
to rent new movies without subscribing... so there would be some
sort of income from that.
There's obviously a business plan behind it as Amazon didn't pay
all that money for the "James Bond" franchise just so online
shoppers can watch Bond in action free of charge!
Trust me, the "Jane Bond: 008" mini-series will be coming to
Prime Video in 2028... starring Amandla Stenberg as our
favourite British secret agent. Remember where you heard it
first!
Depends on Amazon.

The copyright expires on 1 January 2035 and that isn't going to change.

They're fools. They paid a billion for the rights to The Lord of the
Rings appendices which contain almost nothing and no one watches The
Rings of Woke.

It doesn't make them any money.

Yes they did. Subscribers get free next day delivery and a free woke
book every month and get to watch videos while they wait for their goods
to be delivered. The goods which cost substantially more than a tenner
are what Amazon makes its profit from.

Wait 10 years and there will be better Bond movies being made than there
have ever been.
We shall see.
