Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I'll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.

Just pirate it off https://1337x.to when it comes out. People rip things pretty fast if they're popular.

Aye, Thank you! I'm not that sophisticated with this stuff but I'll snag that link!

They said they were in Canada and I assure you Canada doesn't give a fuck about torrents. I've been torrenting copyrighted material for 15+ years now without a VPN, no issue. Like we are talking about tens of thousands of individual torrents for movies, shows, books and software.
