Netflix operates in what it calls the "post-DVD window", which means some studios don't let it stream their films until long after their DVD release. If you compare Netflix with the current UK DVD chart, you'll see what that means: there's no Bridesmaids, no King's Speech, no Drive, Due Date or Inbetweeners Movie. In some cases films don't turn up on Netflix at all, because distributors think Netflix's subscriptions are too cheap. While the choice of programmes and films is very wide, there are noticeable omissions such as Disney, whose most popular films and TV shows - The Lion King, Phineas and Ferb and so on - are absent.

Think of the laptop in five years. People will continue to want to watch movies on TV. No doubt about it. But laptop screens are improving. And young people are living on laptops."

An information sheet handed out to the paid extras said: “Extras are to look really excited, particularly if asked by media to do any interviews about the prospect of Netflix in Canada.” After word of the ruse spread on Twitter, Netflix apologized and said the extras should not have been talking to reporters. A spokesman for Netflix said the handout for extras was required to obtain a film permit for the launch. The instruction sheet referred to Wednesday’s event as a “corporate documentary.”" http://sogweb.sog.unc.edu/blogs/mikesblog/?p=2255 Sources David Hyman has served as Netflix General Counsel since 2002.
