Over 3 million subscribers/customers and growing, regional werehouses
all over the nation, TV spots shown on every major network and such
serious competition to Blockbuster that they started an in-store
subscription service(which they lose money on), dropped late fees
entirely(which they lose even MORE money on) and started their own
online service to go head to head with Netflix, which they're now
pourning millions of dollars into. You think Blockbuster would be doing
all of this if Netflix was just some rinky dink operation running out of
some guys garage? Get real. In 1998 this might have been the case, but
not in late 2005..

Simply do a google search on "netflix+cracked discs" and watch the
results pile up.

Star Wars and Land of the Dead were just 2 examples of popular new
films. There are others as well.

Don't get me wrong, I rent plenty of DVDs as well. I am not trying to
put down anyone that rents from Netflix. I'm just sick of all the
Netflix ass kissing on the internet.
