Netflix is super cheap, and obscenely easy. It's more difficult to pirate than to watch something on Netflix, which should really be the goal of any service.

For me, it's almost entirely that it's easy. Aside from Daredevil and a handful of their comedy specials, I haven't watched any of their produced content, and I'd be just as satisfied if it didn't exist.

The Hollywood movie selection (non Netflix produced) is pretty horrendous. They have a fair amount of TV shows, but the movies are absent.

As always, licensing issues. Hollywood (just like music artists on Spotify) want more than their content is worth.

If its not on Netflix, its on your preferred torrent site.

I know the cause. I'm just stating that Netflix isn't a viable "cord cutter" option until they work something out.

I'm got too much to lose to be messing around with torrents. I just want to pay something and get the content I want. For now, that's cable TV, not Netflix.
