That's the first time I'd ever seen that. It was too much to take. Especially for POS like "Skyline". I'm pretty much good with streaming from now on.

I guess it's still stealing - but if you're going to subject me to unfastforwardable commercials... all bets are off.
Who actually uses Netflix's mail service? I just stream Netflix and the movies appear instantly with no commericals or even FBI warnings. I can start and stop anything and jump to anywhere and it remembers where I left off when I close my browser, etc.

Netflix Canada's online selection sucks compared to the US one but it's not bad. I'm still trying to do a proxy VPN fandangle bit with my US bank account to access the American Netflix. I'd like Hulu Plus as well.

If I have to use the Netflix Canada service though, I just keep signing up for free trial months under different accounts. I've had 3 months free so far.
