| Seems oddly written This article is written and others in the past about his topic in a negative light.
I just do not understand this.
You do realize that this 28 day delay only applies to getting those titles through netflix?
If one wants to they are not restricted in anyway from getting a new release title from another source such as REDBOX or other rental outlet.
There is an exchange as well for that 28 day delay, that is more titles available in streaming format.
That is a positive.
If I wrote the article I would have spun the story in that positive light.
Also regarding the pirateing of titles is not affected by this kind of deal in my opinion.
Pirateing happens because people want to get things without paying, many times just because they can, wheter they really want it or not.
It is just the thrill of getting something that is "hot" |

| I'm not sure how consumers being able to get Titles quickly from Netflix to consumers now having artificial cool-down periods is beneficial to those customers, nor to Netflix vs competitors.
However, the upside is that Sony will allow more of their content library to be streamed by Netflix (albeit older releases) there is that win, for the growing streaming crowd.

And that crowd will start growing ever more quickly, what with the $99 AppleTV selling like crazy and Netflix being one of the services highlighted for use on that system. |

If one wants to they are not restricted in anyway from getting a new release title from another source such as REDBOX or other rental outlet. Redbox has made similar deals with some studios. They are also holding back some new releases for 4 weeks. But DVD Express has not. They are not as widespread, and the cost is a bit higher than Redbox, at $1.50/per night, but you might find there the ones missing at Netflix and Redbox. For example, Robin Hood and the new Nightmare on Elm Street are at DVD Exspress now, but not at Redbox. So if you are one of those must see it the week it comes out people, there are other alternatives.
