Netflix Granted Patent on DVD Subscription Rentals

A few folks noted a new patent showing up from netflix. They apparently now have a patent on their model of subscribing to rentals- where instead of being charged per disc, you are charged a monthly fee and can keep the rentals indefinitely without late fees. You can patent anything! Get on the bus!

What does the Post office have to do with it?

Now if only Microsoft would buy them.

Microsoft should buy Netflix and then prevent Linux users and Apple owners from using it.

Microsoft could use Netflix to profit while adding DRM to prevent evil criminal pirates and thieves from destroying our wonderful economy.

This may also stop the Linux Communists from ruining Capitalism
