Sure it does. When a crappy company that doesn't live up to its slogan
goes out of business, everyone wins. If another company like this
e3flix ends up being better than Netflix and doesn't throttle, everyone
wins.

I'm not trying to rent 30 disks a month. Generally I'll turn it over a
day or two after I receive it. It takes a day to get back and that day
another one is sent out. That's how it was before the throttling
started back up. It's very simple. If you trying to scam people, you
don't deserve their business. You can cry that "oh you losers who wnat
a lot of disks are idiots" all you want, but when it's all said and
done, if a company tries to pull a fast one like Netflix is doing,
whether it's with one or one million customers, they don't deserve to
be in business.
