[AusNOG] Choice says using Netflix is NOT Piracy

[Skeeve Stevens]

Because they are desperate to survive - it is one of the main cash cows for
News Limited.

I see the trend where it wont matter if services like Netflix become more
global and don't service a particular market.

Over time, geographic restrictions will become a thing of the past and
compaies like Foxtel (Australia) will have to compete on the global stage
if they want to maintain the local customers.

We whinge in Australia (and justifiably so) but there are a lot of other
countries that struggle far worse than us which are even more remote and
have much smaller populations.
