The article has a bad link to the Amazon listing for the Blu-ray.

So there’s a link generated by the Amazon app.

I imagine the link did work, but it had tracking that my security software blocked.

    The link worked for me, maybe it was an affiliate code or something in the link?

    Yeah, like I said it was probably my security software. I will say that the link did not go to Amazon. It went to a site that was blocked. So at the very least it was a click tracking thing. Maybe harmless, but not something I'm going to disable security for. Not when I can just go straight to Amazon and get a direct link with no tracking or affiliation.

    Affiliate codes end with ?= and some code and do not flag my security software. So they wanted to monetise the click beyond the affiliate link.
