Pretty big moves as its obvious people love Netflix business model. Plus it has proven to be viable.

I guess HBO likes constantly having the most pirated shows years after year instead of offering people a way to watch them legally.

Also from the article.



Internet streaming is the way of the future.

I'm a fan of theirs as a user, but wonder how their business model can continue to grow. They've been pretty rigid in keeping their subscription price low, and that has bought them a lot of loyalty, but they are going to run out of potential customers fairly quickly and then what? How can they justify their stock price without much potential to really grow their income? Are they going to continue to resist offering any kind of premium or add on services?

My prediction is we're going to see advertisements sooner rather than later.

I love House of Cards and happy to see it get some nominations. I'm looking forward to more of it. I started Orange is the New Black but just couldn't get as sucked in with it. It made me feel like I was watching Mean Girls set in prison. Just too much girlie problems to hold my attention. I can see why women would enjoy it more though.

I would agree with VANFLAMESFAN to an extent where they may be better off to release an episode a week or something.
