#22So two programmers ran a streaming website bigger than Netflix from their garage?
Something is fishy about this. Netflix's infrastructure is massive, and their bandwidth usage is a big chunk of the entire internet. How could this possibly go unnoticed for any amount of time?

So it was’t a free service?
