ultraviolet bleck. i doubt it will take off and hope it doesnt. i would certainly not pay $2 to put my movie on the cloud when i can do it myself and do a better job of it, and thats if i even wanted it there in the first place.

Fuck Netflix. Its easier to download what I want ready to go and if any device can't play x264 HP @ 4.1 in .mkv/.mp4 its a piece of shit not worth owning. No DRM, no problems. You can't stop piracy, you can't slow it down, you can only feebly exist alongside it.

I have to disagree with you on that. While "free" will always have its enticements, convenience coupled with low-cost will hold its own. As I have enjoyed Netflix recently, it has been for exactly those reasons. My set-top box only requires me to click on a single icon, there I can search and stream (no waiting) whatever shows strike my interest. No free "pirated" service offers such instant, on-demand offerings. And since servers are required for instant streaming, a "pirated" operation would have to incur those costs of operation. netflix is able to offer enough choices, instantly for a cost I am willing to pay. Advanced versions of this are likely to improve. Not "feeble" by any means.Originally Posted by Hole69
Will I stop downloading the latest movies as they are available? No. Am I willing to support a service that is offering me greater convenience- with less searching for what programing choices I want? Yes. Millions of consumers agree. Millions more will join in if the services will meet their needs at a price they find reasonable for the service.
Get your lazy ass to binsearch or nzbmatrix and type it in. 5min later you have the film you want in the quality you want and you can watch it over and over unless its some kinky underground porno shit. That is convenience, and you are not tied to one provider who can change what they want on a whim.I have to disagree with you on that.

I don't think I quite understand exactly what your objection is to other people spending their own money on a service they find to be worth whatever they're paying. What I like about netflix is the convenience, as megabyteme said. It works with tech I already have, meaning my xbox and wii, so I have it hooked up to a tv at home and in college, no messing around trying to get a media hub or anything set up and a buttload of stuff at my fingertips that I enjoy watching but would never be bothered to actually download. If I don't know what I want to watch, I can just pick something at random that it may never have even occurred to me to watch and if I don't like I just B button out of it, no harm, no foul, no fuss. And stupid as it may be, I also like the idea that I may actually be contributing money towards come of the people whose content I enjoy, so that they may produce more in the future, however miniscule that contribution may be.Get your lazy ass to binsearch or nzbmatrix and type it in. 5min later you have the film you want in the quality you want and you can watch it over and over unless its some kinky underground porno shit.

I mean, I'm not going to ditch bittorrent or usenet, for various reasons, not least of which would be, as pointed out, the latest movies and tv shows and that, but I'm more than happy enough to use netflix alongside them. And if netflix changes their setup in the morning and I'm no longer happy with it? I stop paying for it, much as I would if my usenet provider displeased me. And €7 a month (not sure how much it is abroad) is hardly breaking the bank.

i had a netflix subscription if you want to play HD movies you need at least 100mb home connection ...and even if you let the movie to load it won't load more than 5 minutes

Quite an ignorant comment to bring to this discussion. The article is about comparing services available and coming up, not some governments idea to stop piracy.
I have an 8meg connection so this service allows me to watch HD content by streaming instead of waiting ages to download. Your arrangement is good for you but not everyone so start seeing the big picture buddy.
