Still waiting for someone to address the Netflix dishonesty.

I'm assuming this is a crosspost -- if you say they're lying, it's most rigourous for you to start off with some evidence. I'm not sure where they make the claims that you yourself claim, since I can find their own words that agree with what you're saying they actually do.

Didn't ita's cut and paste from (what I assume is Netflix service agreement) do that? The fact that they state their policy so that I can find it if I want to pretty much clears up #1 for me.

Ok. We are getting into cross-posts, here. Give me a moment to go back.

Sorry--you're right, Jen. Netflix terms of use.

Ok. I have read the policy statements.

The lawyers among us will say this is enough. Caveat, frakin' emptor!

Here is the thing, though: The bills will keep coming, even if you do not want the items offered.

The bills will keep coming, even if you do not want the items offered.

And? If they're providing a service you don't want, stop buying the service. I don't have sympathy for people who spend money on anything they're not getting value from. You can't fault the company for that.

I don't see why you're mad at them for having some stupid consumers. I can't imagine any service provider/vendor that doesn't have any. They can't all be bad guys.

Also -- you haven't actually explained the lack of ownership angle. Do they not own the DVDs?

Can I just wedge in here for a sec to ask what "The Nice One" refers to?

OKthxbye.

Heh. Whatever it comes from, with Bitches somehow becoming kerfuffle central the past few weeks, it seems to have been prophetic.

The bills will keep coming, even if you do not want the items offered.

If I don't want the items offered, I won't sign up for the service, or I will cancel it. Then the bills will stop. Again, that's up to me. I can cancel and re-sub at will with Netflix with no penalty. That's part of why I like it. Up to me to make sure I do it intelligently to maximize my dollar and the rental period it covers.

If they're providing a service you don't want, stop buying the service.

Actually, I never started, but I take your point.

I don't see why you're mad at them for having some stupid consumers.

I'll just let that one sit there.

That one was very weak. My point was about them being a distribution channel, rather than a creator, and I presented it in a lame way.
