I agree. New movies are not released via Netflix streaming service, and any TV Shows they do have are normally missing anywhere from the last 2 to 5 seasons (maybe Netflix hasn't heard of Hulu, since Hulu's free service has more TV content then Netflix). I would have no problem with paying for streaming service if the service contained the same things I can acquire through the mail service.
As it is, I'm probably canceling my Netflix account instead of paying monthly for a limited selection of movies and shows. Congratulations Netflix, you went from receiving my money monthly to not at all...good things you raised your rates to compensate for the lost income./div>
"If his "business" is truly valuable then his URL shouldn't be important."
Couldn't that statement be applied to the Pac-12 as well, which would avoid this entire set of events? If he had the site first, whether he's using it or not, that doesn't give the Pac-12 the right to take it from him./div>
Technically, it could be "sticking it to them." Many console manufacturers lose money on a console, and make it back in licensing for the games on the console (that's why most stores don't put a console on sale, they just bundle other stuff with it to make it more enticing). So, I guess it would be kind of sticking it to Sony if you bought a PS3 and never bought a game for it /shrug.
However, I do understand the OP's desire to jailbreak one just to do it.../div>
