Well for me it is hard to opt in, as the buttons are not visually presented
obviously. I know they did it just prior to Christmas as there were others
who had had the same issue. It is not illegal to give you something for
nothing. However when the law changes it will have to be opt in not opt out
of the paying service. As I say, for some people who seem to live on Amazon
its probably a big saving in the long run, but not for the occasional buyer.

SFAIK, it is illegal for you to be enrolled in a paying service without
your consent. However, if you have, at any time, accepted a trial of
Prime, you have agreed to it being automatically renewed when the trial
period ends. Given the way they present the options, it is not difficult
accidentally to chose to trial Prime when navigating to the checkout.
