| 1379381 | 2014-07-16 07:56:00 | Netflix is freedom from paid download of content eg movies, tv programs from overseas. I had a Netflix account for two years, but no one in my household was all that much interested, except me, who never had the time to watch anything anyway. LL |

| 1379383 | 2014-07-16 10:10:00 | Currently theres no legal way to get Netflix in NZ. Theres several ways to bypass the restrictions, places like slingshot actually tell you how. BUT maybe the following article will explain better for the NZ options: www.stuff.co.nz |

| 1379384 | 2014-07-16 10:15:00 | It's not illegal in NZ to use Netflix. You may be breaking netflix's terms but that's also not illegal. All they could do is close your account. |

| 1379385 | 2014-07-16 10:35:00 | Didn't say it was illegal to use netflix, said theres no legal way to get it, (two different things) meaning a contract payment in NZ. A person has to bypass geoblocking technology currently. When a person signs a terms and agreement ( including putting a tick in "I Agree") its a legal contract that the person agrees to all the terms as listed. If you try to get netflix by logging in you get a message saying "Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet." Which means they dont have the rights to supply content. Which is why netflix put blocks in recently to stop people breaking their terms. Netflix doesn't have the rights to supply in NZ -- as per the article "Sky Television and Telecom have both been acquiring rights to television and film content " |

| 1379386 | 2014-07-16 11:06:00 | The Terms that people in NZ are bypassing are these , Item 6 c You may view a movie or TV show through the Netflix service only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such movie or TV show. The content that may be available to watch will vary by geographic location. Netflix will use technologies to verify your geographic location. Currently not licensed to be shown in NZ. |

| 1379387 | 2014-07-16 18:33:00 | I hope Netflix get beaten by the likes of the new services starting in NZ and the likes of Slingshot. People in NZ have been asking for the service for years and they have not bothered with us. So why should New Zealanders bother with them. Not that I watch any streaming movies. |

Then I guess it doesn't worry you then. I see in Stuff this morning that Netflix may start here middle of next year but I bet it will be "Crippled" as Quickflix and Apple TV are. Sky, Spark/Telecom and the NZ movie distributers will make sure of it especially TV.. |
