I would be more tolerant if there were 2 listed times: (1) when the previews will begin; (2) when the movie will begin.

Who's going to build the nationwide, unmetered fiber-to-the-home network to support this new content revolution?

Everyone else but the US? > fibre accounting for half of all broadband connections in Japan (55%) and Korea (52%). Other leading countries include the Slovak Republic (28%), Sweden (24%) and Denmark (12%). http://www.telconews.com/2010/12/11/oecd-internet-economy-br...

Don't worry, we in Canada won't be getting reasonably priced good internet connections either.

For most theaters there are. Our local chain in my hometown started the actual film exactly fifteen minutes after the advertised time, and the same is true for the theaters where I live now.

I like them, though I've seen most of them already. It's still enjoyable to see them on the big screen.

This bodes well for Netflix and their new business model. I hope that the programs they produce will be free of advertising.

You should pay for Hulu :) I bet that would annoy you more. I still can't believe you pay for hulu and still get ads all throughout the damn show. And not just ads. You see the same ads over and over and over.

I'm talking about "commercials" - not previews.

I love movie previews.

Some theaters I go to play commercials (i.e. ads for products) before the movie previews.

And for the first time, people will actually care about breaking Netflix Streaming's DRM. Anyone want to guess how long it'll last? I'm thinking it'll be up on the Pirate Bay the day of release.

It will be on Torrent/usenet sites within 15min of airing. Pirate groups have this stuff down.

Its not much harder to capture netflix than any other live show.

You can buy $100 capture cards and record live gaming. DRM isnt an issue since you dont even need to crack the source.

This is great that Netflix is being bold. Netflix needs to be bold. The networks own the studios that produce all of the content and will continue to use that to keep Netflix under heel.

Arrested Development certainly has risk though. It's impossible to pick up where the show left off six years ago.

Hopefully if this succeeds Netflix will consider following up by reviving Better Off Ted. A similar, critically acclaimed, and more recent show with actors that seem generally available.

I hope there isn't. Sounds like you're a fan, but either don't want to pay the creators, or don't approve of their choice of distribution? That doesnt give you a moral or legal right to stiff them.

Agreed. The only reason to use torrents is to get your content delivered to the devices you want. It's hard to find a device that doesn't support Netflix. An offline Netflix option might be the only exception

The only exception? How about the billions of us living someone else in the world other than the US?
