Actually, Netflix never went public. As crazy as it sounds, they started with a realistic business model and have spent the past few years building up their services. They're one of the few "dot-com" companies that has consistently turned a profit.
For the record, I've been a subscriber for about two years, and I love it - the 24-hour turnaround for customers in the bay area is hard to beat.:-)
i would say if you agree to the TOS when install and sign up for the game, you are bound by it.
Unless, of course, the terms are unfair or unlawful. If they decided to make indentured servitude a requirement for gameplay, would it stand? Of course not. The only question being asked is how many restrictions the game companies can lawfully impose on the real world.
The question is, why is it censored? Aside from obvious criminal deviance (involving children, etc) I don't know why everyone can't just relax. Sheesh.

And you misspelled "benefit". Oh, and it should be "MY country". Jackass.
