(256 posts)another red cent! They cornered the market for so long and charged such exorbitant rental, late, and re-wind fees I hope they starve plumb fuckin' to death! I hope they go bankrupt!
As for Netflix, I normally protest these clauses loudly as a matter of principle. It chaps my ass to see them, but as some have mentioned earlier, this one doesn't bother me that much. We pay$18 month and get both streaming and unlimited DVD and we find it to be a much better value than our actual Comcast Cable bill. (i've paid Blockbuster that much on one weekends rentals many many times!) But that's just us. For $18 dollars a month, there is really nothing that I can foresee that NETFLIX might possibly do to me that I am really concerned about. Getting redress through the courts where an attorney will get rich and I will still probably only get a voucher for a free movie is just not that much of a principle issue to me. Attorney fee's trump the "give up your rights" principle on this one with me.
If it screws an attorney out of a ludicrous 60% fee I say more power to em! Bring on the arbiter!
