Sure, but the German account is more expensive.

Netflix pays the content owners / studios for the content they serve, and so the screenwriters/directors/actors/producers get paid if you use Netflix.

The difference is that when you're using Netflix you're actually paying the people who make the stuff you watch.

Use a VPN service (see my comment elsewhere on this page), register for the American service, and then, on the VPN service's website, change your Netflix region to UK or another region.

> English is always available
Not in the Danish version of Netflix, AFAIK. There you can typically choose between three or four (horribly translated) Nordic languages.
If you want English subtitles, one solution could be to use a VPN service such as Unlocator.

Do you have a link to that story?

For those looking for a solution that will allow them to watch e.g. the American version of Netflix (which has the largest selection), check out https://unlocator.com/ or http://www.unblock-us.com/. The latter was a bit unreliable for me, whereas the former works well.
To save money, create an American Netflix account instead of a Netflix account in your native country. The way to sign up for the American account is to use one of the VPN services above, change your DNS settings as explained on the VPN service's website, and then go to netflix.com. You should then see the American version and be able to create an account there.
