It seems some feel that because they are at least paying some money a month, it's okay to abuse the system a little to get what they want. Well it's not really. Netflix UK is for UK customers and Netflix US is for US customers. It's that simple. And I for one hope they crack down on this.
As for the difference in content available being "insulting" to UK customers, what nonsense. The service is about 3 weeks old in the UK. Of course content is going to be thin on the ground at the moment compared to its US counterpart which is well established. Give it time to grow.”
I've tried both Netflix UK and Netflix US, and I'm strongly tempted to subscribe to the US service. The selection (particularly older, back catalogue stuff) and
convenience is fantastic. If netflix tightened their system and I was confined to the UK service onIy, I really
wouldn't bother. It's OK, but only that.
The whole system of regional rights management is being made irrelevant as time and technology passes. If the content providers can convince people like me to pay
something for their product (£70 per year), then that has to be better than them not getting anything at all, purely because of my geographical location.
