Nothing needs to even be cracked. It's not even a roadblock.... more like a pothole. You just kinda swerve to avoid it, but if not it's all right anyway.

Pirates don't get their crap from Netfilx?!! Hell, almost every new release the pirates do is out 1-3 months before Netfilx even gets them.

That's what I'm saying! Seriously, in the torrent community, almost everything is sourced from retail. Do they actually think pirates are going to wait 3 days for the DVD in the mail?

And if you're going to argue the pirates they're after are just the home users that rip for their own collection, go ahead and argue. Because as stated above, if they don't want to buy it, they'll just get it from Blockbuster.

This is amazingly stupid of Netflix. Who's going to wait a month for a DVD release when the video stores have it? Basically, we're going backwards. As in, we're going back to the video store domination.

If this wasn't so pathetic, it might actually be funny!

Almost any movie (worth seeing) is usually available to download weeks or months before the DVD/Blue Ray comes out. Another impotent action by the movie studios!

And as the OP pointed out, pirates do not bother getting their movies from Netflix!

When I first read this about the 28 day delay, I thought it was a joke. Apparently not:

There is no way customers who rely on rental DVD's will standby and take this delay. I have been a Netflix customer for 1.5 years and have always wanted to see new rentals ASAP. Since I can no longer do this with Netflix, I will cancel my service. I will either return to BlockBuster online or simply occasionally go to my local independent rental stores. Maybe I'll just use Redbox, especially if they put one nearby.

I can't believe Netflix will leave this policy in place. I just know that thousands of their customers will dump them now and Netflix will back down.

Lol yeah.

So now people that would use netfilx get their movies later and start to think "the hell with the waiting I just DL from torrentsite X and get the movie today instead of month later"

Stupid move which only increases piracy.
