Hey Everyone,
Just a quick comment about Netflix and subscription models:
We do not consider Netflix to be a competitor. This is because Netflix is a subscription based service - like pay tv, but without a fixed schedule for when you can see the content on there. Netflix primarily license content for a one-off payment to the content owner and they also produce their own content. With a subscription you can watch the content as many times as you want.
For content owners, Netflix is one of the last windows of film distribution that you have - because as long as you are one Netflix - no one who is on Netflix will pay to watch your film or TV show on a pay per view basis. Netflix are very good at what they do and I have the deepest respect for them.
However it is important to say, that the films and TV shows that are on Netflix are not new - except for their own productions. So the new films on iTunes for instance will not be available on Netflix until many months after.
And the new films and TV shows are the ones we are going for for CryptoFlix. Therefore we will not have Netflix as a competitor because our content will be different from theirs.
In short - CryptoFlix will not be a subscription based streaming platform.
Finally a few more replies to the wonderful debate:
1) There will not be advertising on CryptoFlix
2) We will start the platform in under developed countries - and very likely in Asia first
3) The price will be determined by the streaming quality chosen by the users - and the content owners will have more control over the pricing. So we are expecting to be competitive - otherwise how can we expect to even have a market let alone to compete with piracy.

Good to get some clarification on some of the burning questions.
I still think that in some aspects Netflix will be a competitor because consumers around the world will have a choice with what they will do with their $10 a month: they can get netflix and watch classic movies, or they can use cryptoflix to watch some of the newer movies. Either way, for many people, they will choose only one of the options (and not both).
