After finding yet one more set of episodes removed from streaming -- in addition to however many movies I'd previously queued up -- I'm about done with Netflix. I'd hung in there because I liked the service and their early attitude. But now, even if this is not Netflix' fault, I think I'm done sending any of my money -- even via the Netflix indermediaries -- to content owners who jerk me around this way. There was a fellow -- in France, IIRC -- who wrote a fairly well-worded if polemic argument for no longer enabling these content owner abusers through one's financial contributions. While I've never been a content pirate (not that I don't endorse some of the associated goals and principles), I'm ready to retreat further into my books and works and do my 2 cents to help "big media" starve -- perhaps, hopefully, at least enough to get hungry enough to try harder to find a better distribution model. Or to help the real content producers (in all their various roles) do an end run around these self-serving, rapacious middlemen.
