TiVo TiVo Update/Netflix - Page 31

Hmm interesting. You think that because i pay a monthly fee its worse than getting something for free over and over again using different email accounts? I am paying Netflix so why does it matter which content i watch? Genuinely interested in your opinion.

I am viewing content that is on a months free trial, if that means repeating the free trial by using another card then that's not doing anything wrong in my opinion nor is it illegal.
If I lived in a shared student house, with 8 people living there and they all did a month free each so they could watch it in the property, is that wrong too?

Where as you are viewing content that is not licensed to broadcast in this country with that service you are paying for, you would be as well downloading from torrents as it amounts to the same thing.

Ok. I disagree with you for a few different reasons the main one being that at least Netflix are getting some money from me but none at all from your student house. There are quite a few things on US Netflix that have been on the BBC so i guess not only have they been licensed but i helped pay for them with my television license.

Lol and there is a lot of stuff on there that doesnt have the broadcast rights to be shown here on Netflix or they would show it.. so its ok to rip of those content providers is it?

If Netflix have a system that can't tell if someone has had a free trial already at that property then people will continue to access the content via a free trial. Now if thats either by different people at the same property doing it once each or the same person using different card details then Netflix need to fix their system.

If Tesco had a glitch on their system and were offering a product at £6 when it should have clearly been £60 would you go in and offer them the full amount or take the item and pay your £6 and go?

Ok ending this now as nicely as i can. You are arguing your point that it is better to get things for free through a legal loophole over my position of wanting more content for actual money paid. I cannot win this. I joined Netflix not Netflix UK. If i travel to America with my Netflix account i am surely entitled to watch their Netflix there. I have no idea about the Tesco scenario because that is not relevant. That's up to your conscience. It sounds like you think i should pay more to Netflix ... while you continue to pay nothing. I have a funny feeling if you asked them they would say - Hey we are a business after all we would appreciate some monthly bills being paid rather than providing free stuff for people.

Fair enough you think you're doing nothing wrong.
I beg to differ, I never said what many people do is right but if there is a loophole people exploit them all the time... which is what both of us are doing.
Lets leave it at that as you say.

Loopholes and evasion? and people wonder why the country is on its knees

Using smart dns is not illegal , i'm getting tired of this copyright , streaming is illegal bullcrap. It's not illegal it's just a civil matter.
In North Korea and China it is illegal yes in the uk it is not illegal we do not go by North Korean or Chinese laws.
Smart dns and vpns are perfectly legal to use , if companies such as cw , netflix , fox etc really were concerned by it they could easily just make it where you sign up and you only get services matching your address country. So can we just stop this it's illegal no it's not rubbish it gets boring.

Sorry it's your post i quoted paul please don't think i'm having a go at you or anything mate.

hope those links clear up this smart dns/vpn is illegal garbage.

paultrademark · 11-11-2013, 01:08

I never said it was illegal mate lol

Yeah Netflix could block it if they wanted to by your address. . They could also block the free trials to one per address..

Londonbornpaddy · 11-11-2013, 01:39

Hi i was not saying i am right you are wrong. If Using another method of watching Netflix in the US was blocked i would hesitate to investigate furthur. With so many torrent sites shut down last week there are obviously moves to block people downloading things for free. With Sky you can get Sky go and using my dads password i can use a device to watch his sky. I think off the top of my head 4-6 people can use one Netflix account. All i was offering was an alternative to make Netflix even more appealing without fracturing any laws. I am really looking forward to the Tivo update it's far more interesting than Sky Atlantic as an option. Even if you stick to just the UK flix there are oceans of high quality HD old and new2 series and films to keep you happy for years.

No harm meant just love my Netflix and get a little devensive. Apologies for any offence,

I just noticed mate lol blame the Jack Daniels

i mostly use the smart dns for shows i want to watch which no uk broadcaster have picked up , plus having a few American friends they tend to post spoilers on their fb lol.
At least by using the networks own sites or Netflix i'm not risking getting a virus or trojan etc on my pc , also in a way i kind of do pay for some content as i'll click on a advert or something as the network gets money for each click. It's kind of my way of paying my way if that makes sense? lol.

No worries guys.. just lets enjoy Netflix and you never know.. VM might give us a 3 month trial once rolled out!
