The Amazon servers are where the login servers are located. You are blocking yourself from accessing the game.
Mhmmm aren't you the observant one. See I can access the server at random without issue. The issue here is that the mojang server will randomly allow amazon to access my internet activity. This is a method used by a lot of companies to obtain revenue from allowing people to spy on their customers for things such as "Ad optimization".
I've been down this road plenty of times so don't try to beat around the bush. I already paid for the game I don't believe you need any more revenue from my playing the game.

The screen shot? I can make a video if you want to make sure that the access is coming from the minecraft application.
... or perhaps I can word it differently so that you can comprehend... Why is amazon trying to spy on my internet activity whenever I try to login to your application.

I can confidently say 100%, you have no idea what you are speaking about.
PeerBlock is horrible to say in general, it ALWAYS has barked about AP2P from Amazon EC2 cloud servers (Even before Minecraft really). Even if you just like launch a web browser it will bark for no reason about AP2P from Amazon.
So really, it is only doing this because Minecraft/Mojang servers are on the Amazon EC2 cloud. The IP is Amazon from EC2 Cloud and thus it flags because of the black list.

Ok I believe you. Sorry I've been having a lot of issues with things like facebook and spotify etc... And they DO spy for, according to their TOS, for "Enhancing Ad Experience". So I assumed this was another one of those privacy scams. But it seems that the amazon access is only on HTTP port 80 and isnt actually a threat
Mojang would never do something like that. The only thing they ever collect is machine and game stats, and there's a long text saying they won't use it for anything else other to enhance Minecraft's performance, and you can opt-out too from the in game settings. I don't blame you for being worried about your privacy, but you're in good hands with Mojang
As Iron Waffle says Mojang does have a snooper or something such that sends some game data that you can opt out of in the game options. They've never tried to hide it. In fact when Notch was considering it he put up a poll asking about peoples opinions if they did it.
Any chance you can stop allowing people to spy on my internet for money so I can actually play the game that I paid you for?
