I expected that would be the move a lot of people would go but Netflix actually saw a net gain with what was thought to be an unpopular move. This is actually a really fascinating potential case study on piracy where you'd think it would lead to lost customers, but despite driving some away it actually increased.

Apparently it only saw a gain in subscriptions in countries where the price of Netflix is really low, so there's more factors at work in this case I think.

I'm looking forward to a region by region break down once this gets fully rolled out.
