Hello TPB.

 

[Nerfherder]

Warner need to realize that a lot of people use Netflix because they feel bad about pirating....

Pulling this kind of stunt will just send people right back to the torrents.

I thought there was only about 2000 movies on Netflix anyway...

Stupid is as stupid does.

This is what happens when you let elitist head in the clounds idiots make corporate decisions. Rule number 1 of doing business: know your customer.

TPB gonna get more traffic very very soon.

Nail. Head. Hit.

I was considering Netflix, but now, guess not.

Stupid hey...surely Netflix is paying them to show the content? Bad on Netflix part not to hold them down to a contract.

Both Netflix and Warner is going to suffer.

How much movies on Netflix is there?

 

[Beachless]

Thats not good, I guess a few people will save their $8 now and go to TPB.

 

[HapticSimian]

Hardly a train smash, it seems. Just studios being studios.

Judging by the list of films expiring on Netflix they're doing us a favour.

Corporate Suits thinking with their rectums again.
