Strictly speaking, it's still copyright infringement. The fact you pay<br>
for it doesn't make it better. It's like getting an MS licence and<br>
saying you are student, but using it in a business. It's against the<br>
T&Cs.<br>
<br>
It would make a LOT of sense for Netflix to open in Australia next.<br>
The pent up demand would be huge, if they could get a decent range of<br>
programming, another problem. I think we are more literate in area<br>
than parts of Europe, their next destination.<br>
