They've been saying that for ages though, I really think it's just paying lip service to the production companies.kentaddick said:It’s worth noting that Netflix have said they will crack down on vpn users. Ie if you’re paying from a U.K. bank account but you’re always accessing the American Netflix through an American IP address they may block you.
They know how many customers they'd lose if they cut off VPN usage.0 -
I’m amazed that the copyright enforcers haven’t gone in hard against VPN providers.
Mind you, there used to be a load of free VPN providers around 10 years ago, after 9/11 VPN became quite difficult to get, now it’s all over the place again.
It’s dangerous really and should t be allowed. Sorry to say I believe people should pay for content. Not as much as they are asked to but pay nonetheless.0 -
VPNs are used for a lot more than dodging paying for content, if you value your privacy at all, I'd say a VPN is a must.Alwaysneil said:I’m amazed that the copyright enforcers haven’t gone in hard against VPN providers.

Would you? Ok I’ll look into it a bit more. Had not really considered bouncing all my content through a VPN before.0

And on another level, I use them for work. It allows me to connect to secure servers and applications without having to be on a Government machine in a Government building.Stu_of_Kunming said:

There are a lot of valid uses for VPNs. And Stu is right about privacy protection.1 -

As mentioned higher up the thread Netflix remains in a highly vulnerable position....

.....they have a strong first mover advantage but the big boys are about to get serious.

Thanks for the insight Ormiston, but you’ll forgive me for having doubts given that your previous prediction was for Netflix to be dead and buried by 2017.Ormiston Addick said:As mentioned higher up the thread Netflix remains in a highly vulnerable position....

Michael Pachter outlines similar thoughts here....
......Netflix may find a way through a tougher market but their problems are compounded by the fact that they have set such a low value on their product at only US$10 per month or so.
Their subs base is highly resistant to price increases so unless Netflix keeps adding tens of millions of new subs then funding an increasing amount of new content will be very tough.0 - Sponsored links:

The best Netflix originals around at the moment are Roma , The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs and Bird Box although the latter devides opinion . I didn’t mind it .Athletico Charlton said:Help required.

Netflix created more original content in 2018 than all movie studios combined.

That’s the line they’d like us to believe - I’d like to know if that includes buying in content that wasn’t getting a theatrical release or facing box office floppery.NapaAddick said:Netflix created more original content in 2018 than all movie studios combined.3 -
It also kinda pisses me off when they buy up previously successful shows and call them 'netflix originals' yeah, one season maybe.JiMMy 85 said:

Trailer Park Boys is the best show ever made and is 100% not a netflix original, it really annoys me that they claim it is, now, I'm glad they bought the rights and let the guys make the show how they want, and I know the main guys involved really enjoy the freedom netflix give them but the show is older than netflix itself ffs.0 -

Netflix - 1997
Trailer Park boys did exist before Netflix Originals, which started being created in 2012.
Before it was online streaming, it was like LoveFilm who were taken over by Amazon in 2011. Then known as Amazon Instant Video, who eventually became Amazon Prime Video.
Netflix is far better than that load of ball bags on there.
I have to disagree on Trailer Park boys being the best show ever made, but that's just my opinion.0
