That'll teach them.
Personally, I find their prices ridiculous, so I buy from Chinese film copiers - they usually come round the pub.

Well, they've helped me catch up on a lot of movies and series, and one year's worth of service still seems to be cheaper than a month of cable service, so I've stuck with them. I look at it as, "How many hours of entertainment does Netflix provide for me?" Then compare that to how many hours I get out of other things. It's a better deal than my continued subscription to SWTOR, which I've played more this month than most months in the last year because of the XP boost for subscribers, but still, that's $15 a month. Netflix is, what, $9 a month for the online service? (I'm still on the $8 a month plan grandfathered in for a while, so I'm not quite sure on the prices.)
As for buying from Chinese knockoffs... why not just download stuff at that point? Same thing morally, and you're not giving someone else money for someone else's work. They likely just downloaded a copy anyway.
Spoof thread is spoof
It's gently mocking a Doom and Gloom thread about GW in Corporate Discussion.
It's still funny if you start a thread, innit

I get that this is a spoof thread but I've gone backwards. I have started to hate digital with all the issues I have with playing video online - issues buffering, having to refresh the page, videos not loading, video stuttering or having the audio go out of synch ect - I havent used Netflix (I've used Crunchyroll) but these kind of issues I get with other services put me off. I've gone back to DVD's which are dirt cheap now in the age of Blu-ray, as you get none of those annoying issues I just mentioned. To be fair it might be cos I use a netbook (I can't afford a desktop) but it's still too much frustration for me. Easier to just spend a few quid and get the film or series that way. Recently managed to get all of Twin Peaks on DVD for £12, well worth it.

It's not a good film unless you get it obscured while the man gets up to use the loo!
I stream, though I don't have any issues. even when streaming to multiple devices. Chrome casting + 100Mb service ftw.

Australia has the highest internet piracy rate in the world. Mostly because it takes five years for a show to air here after it came out overseas
There was this TV producer came here to promote a older show at conventions and he had a whole bunch of people saying they where fans of his more recent shows that hadn't actually been released in australia
Long live the glorious nagash supreme lord of the undead and immortal king. Emotionally imparred autistic with a tendency towards obsessing on near useless topics like dinosaurs
It also manages to ignore the plethora of other problems with the GW business model that these companies do not have.
EDIT: You're also completely ignoring the wider context of the market as a WHOLE.

Because if you don't pirate in australia you have to deal with the murdoch cartel. There is no "free market" for television in australia
