Right, I'm going to unsubscribe at end of this years sub, I'm not subsidising this business through tax.

Right, I'd follow suit except how do you watch your favorite Netflix original content though? :(

I subscribe to Netflix but still torrent all shows because it is more convenient and higher quality.

Googling that domain name there are a bunch of headlines like "Acme corportation paid 0 tax". It seems to be part of their usual shtick.

The site loads, but really slowly. I feel like it has been slashdotted maybe.

Just go to duckduckgo.com and search for anything with the word stream on the end.

Why not just increase sales tax? Or make sales tax sector by sector. Since they are almost a monopoly, it will come out of their own pocket mostly.

Nitpick: You can do this in Firefox or any other browser, as well. It's the Google search engine that provides this functionality, not the browser.

It's because they're still carrying forward the massive amounts of debt they're spending in upping the count of their original programming.
