The only money netflix could potentially lose here is the small cross section of people who only subscribe for a single month to watch this show along with people who know how to use bittorrent.
- glenstein 10y agoIf anything, they'd stand to lose a lot more over the long term by creating a precedent of caving to ransom demands.

- EthanHeilman 10y agoThis reminds everyone that a new season is coming out. The larger the news story the more people who will watch, the more subscriptions netflix gets. Kinda surprised netflix hasn't gone for a strategy where they post the first three episode of a series online for free and then require a subscription for the rest.
