NP, and I agree. I'm right on the edge of canceling it, but I just didn't watch a lot of TV and when I got it I watched *a ton* of old TV series (BSG, SG1, SGU, SGA, HIMYM, TBBT, White Collar, Nikita, Lost, Doctor Who, Weeds, Heroes) It was like watching 10 years of TV in 6 months. Once you exhaust the biggest strength of Netflix (old TV series and some movies) it has much less to offer.

I cant blame Netflix though. I think it was going in the right direction until everyone started seeing it as a threat, and we have Comcast now essentially with Hulu ownership which doesn't help things either. They are going to kill Netflix but fail to provide a superior alternative (the service itself has always seemed decent). This will just drive more piracy.

Every time I go to Netflix and can't find what I want, I just go download it anyway and the urge to cancel grows.

The MPAA would probably see me as the enemy, but I can guarantee you I have access to a higher cable package (which thankfully I don't pay the bill for) with a DVR and premium channels, and go to the movies more often than most people I know. None of this seems to matter though.

When the biggest economic news of a bad US economy is that people are willing to pay such exorbitant premiums on Apple products to turn them into the biggest company in the world simply because they make products that the consumers want the notion that people won't pay the MPAA or RIAA or HBO or Netflix or Hulu or Redbox or whoever a nominal sum because of piracy is utterly laughable.
