Netflix’s new plan: save a buck with SD-only streaming

The article seems a bit sarcastic, but let's not forget that the discount is a full 12.5% discount.

You guys have it pretty damn good, $7-8 for unlimited streaming would be amazing. Here in Australia we have nothing comparable to Netflix. The closest thing is Quickflix - it's twice the price and doesn't have anything you actually want to watch.

You should get a VPN. Sure, it will cost you a bit extra, but Netflix has absolutely no qualms accepting your non-American credit card and you'll be able to watch other region-locked content. The VPN I use has absolutely no problems delivering HD content from Netflix and Hulu.

The legalities of this are still a grey area however. Some have suggested that bypassing geo-licensing restrictions is as bad as straight out torrenting: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/computers/blogs/gadgets-o...
