Netflix Throttling Heavy Renters
dankinit writes "Netflix has begun using a 'fairness algorithm' that slows shipments of movies to heavy users to protect profits, according to an MSNBC article. Netflix revised its terms of use in January 2005 to read, 'In determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service'. Since revising this policy last year, more and more users are realizing 'heavy renters are more likely to encounter shipping delays and less likely to immediately be sent their top choices' according to the article."

Your mother sucks my prick and swallows my wad!"
But free speech'll win
Over arbitrary sin
So fuck off and die arab clod.
You're only jealous cos the little penguins are talking to me.
There once was a jihaddi named Omar
Whose reach stretched just a little too-far.
His car bombs started losing their luster,
compared to a laser guided bunker-buster,
and Al Jazeera had to shop for a new war.
Thank you. I'll be here all week.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
What is wrong with that behavior? It is our right as consumers to hold businesses accountable for what they SAY they are selling us. If they say UNLIMITED then consumers have the right (some say the duty, caveat emptor...) to take full advantage of the company's services within the limits of the agreement.
You sound like the kind of guy that takes a doggie bag to an all-you-can-eat buffet and sues the restaurant because the waitress stops clearing your table as quickly after your twentieth plate.
Get a life.
