Why sell once for 100 beans when you can sell over and over again for 40 beans.
That's why there's no free global market. |

It's a shame that they don't believe in the power of the free market. The days of wanting to spend £50 a month on TV are on the wane, and not even Sky's years-late modernisation of its TV STB is going to help.
The people who can't get what they want from Netflix will just pirate again, they won't all be having Sky reinstalled. One day, the TV and movie companies will get it, just as the music companies eventually did re: cheap MP3s and services like Spotify |

I just got the message about using an unblocker on my Roku when trying to watch US Netflix. I am using unblock-us and have their DNS sever set in my router with a block rule on Googles DNS.
though it still works on my Chromebook PIxel LS for now.

My ad free time smart DNS seems to have been blocked on the NBC Live Extra site. I can still access their channels using the same account on the Xfinity site though.

It would but a lot of people wanted to pay something for Netflix so the studios would at least get something, now the studios greedy behaviour has cost them probably a lot of that revenue.
The only potential loss is going to be seen by Netflix from other regions outside of where certain content is available. |

I doubt that its affecting the studios one bit, they're selling content on a region by region basis which Netflix have budgeted for. How many potential customers viewing from outside that region doesn't even come into it.

In the short term yes, but less income for Netflix means less income for the studios in the long run.

It's not going to be a huge loss of income for Netflix. They have 70 million subscribers worldwide. I would say a fraction of those would use VPNs. Not sticking up for them, by the way. Just providing some balance.

Some things are not available on Showbox though i dare say somewhere online they are, but while i dont really care about the legality of using Showbox others in my family would and did. but as it was my account and as Netflix have started blocking vpns, i made the decision to stop my account and save myself £6.99 and watch it on Showbox. If my family and friends dont agree, thy are welcome to join theirselves or if they do can download showbox amongst others cinemabox(playbox) and cartoon hd to name a few Of course Netflix are only doing what they are being pressured into doing and to be honest abiding by their contracts but while i am sure there will be many like me who have or are thinking of cancelling, there will be probabley double, treble or quadruple joining. |

^^But you shouldn't really be sharing your NF account with friends and really only family living at the same address.

Canada has a broader deal with Disney than anywhere else, it's apparently the only region getting Star Wars- The Force Awakens this year.
