    This, of course, turned out to be a boon for Netflix, as they reportedly gained 5.9 million new subscribers after the policy was enacted.

    Time to find the next alternative to streaming. Any ideas?

      Yup. Every company will follow the same model. Why wouldn’t they when it was clearly successful. Not everyone accepted it, I canceled Netflix, more because of a lack of content that didn’t justify the price if I couldn’t share it.

      Slowly more and more will be raising the black flag and soon some new service will come out, and the cycle will repeat itself.

    I’m only keeping D+ for my niece and nephew. If they can’t watch it at home it’ll be time to set up that server I’ve been thinking about and setting up my sister’s computer to access it.

        In point of fact, I began puttering around the harbor, and I’m already looking for a bigger boat. Something with a decent hold, since I’ve already acquired a TB, I mean ton, of goods for distribution

    Is Canada like a weapon x program site? Or do they think they can get away with it cuz people are polite there? Every company tries stupid shit in Canada first.
