I got Netflix purely for the quidco, I will be keeping it by the looks of things. Well at least until they "fix" the US content workaround.

I expect to simplyfy licensing deals. If your in uk, you get uk. If you fly to America and use same account you get us content. If you go to jape and logo to you're account. You can watch anything.

Myself and Miss Sinc watch 'Bones'. If I was supposed to be able to watch this in the UK on netflix then surely they would be available to me by just logging in normally rather than changing my DNS servers? The same way that lots of content in youtube pops up saying "due to licensing you cannot watch this in your country"

Maybe the "could" fix it if they really wanted to.

Netflixs policy is one account and what you get depends what country you are in. So if you have a uk account and go on Holliday to America, you would see American version. If you went on Holliday to Japan, you wouldn't be able to view any films (assuming there's no Japanese films) This is by design rather than an oversite.

They could use IP locality and other methods to determine your location whilst still having one account. I doubt it's set in stone you will be able to bypass the "restrictions" so easily forever. But for now, good stuff!

Yeah they could change it, I'm jut saying the "loop" hole was there by design.
I'm not sure what else they could use. Zune iirc checks to see what region windows is set to. But I'm pretty sure that's not transmitted in browser headings, so would need to change to a program format. Even then that's only a couple of clicks on windows. They could always do it, so a uk account is uk only and us one is us only, regardless of where you are.
