Do you have a reference for that, or is it just your own opinion?

I live in the US, and the majority of the demographic that I see as NetFlix
subscribers are people that have no idea what a VPN or a Torrent is.  Even
with torrents, the simplicity of NetFlix far overrides torrents, so the
fact that someone knows how to use torrent doesn't mean that they are a
potential NetFlix subscriber.

Even if there are "between 50,000 and 200,000 Australian subscribers" (A
number I don't believe - at least at the top end), that's still less than
an order of magnitude less (as a percentage of population) than their US
subscribers - hardly a "Majority".
