Your complaint is misguided. This is not the fault of Netflix, they can only show what they are licensed to show. If your favorite movie is not on Netflix, if the movie you really want to see is not on Netflix, if the latest movies are not on Netflix fast enough; it's likely because of the copyright holder not making a deal with Netflix.
For example, take a look at newest releases in Netflix in a browser. Now use a proxy to change your country and look again. Likely, depending on where you actually are and where you say you are, you will see a different list. That's because of licensing.
I would imagine that Netflix would be more than happy to have in their catalog every bit of movie and television products that have ever existed and will ever exist as fast as possible for everyone to see regardless of where you happen to live. But as long as the copyright holders feel they will make good money off of DVD sales or other avenues before offering it to streaming, then that's the environment streaming will always be.
If there's something you wish to see on Netflix and it isn't there, complain to the distributor of that product and not Netflix.
- smsm42 13y agoIt's not the question of "fault", it is the question of Netflix not being a useful service to me. What I'm saying is that maybe that recommendation engine is excellent technically, I don't know - for me good recommendation engine is the one that can recommend me something I could use, and Netflix one can not. Whose "fault" it is - why would I care? I certainly wouldn't start a personal crusade to find out who in the byzantine network of IP rights is to blame that I can't watch anything of interest on Netflix. For me it is a failure of Netflix as a service, and the reason for this failure is not for me to investigate - it's for them if they want to become a useful service.
