Hey, this is almost exactly the question I was asking. It looks like Netflix ought to consider carving out a niche market in future instead of paying millions for the streaming rights to blockbusters which we can all get elsewhere. They could become a sort of digital Vulcan Video with added original content like House of Cards. Alternatively, of course, they could just raise their monthly fee a few dollars. Of the people I know who own Netflix, I don't think a single one would balk, and these are poor college students.
