Two things I would like to share...
1, I use an ISP that doesn't packet shape, throttle protocols, bandwidth manage, deep packet inspect, blah, blah blah... (yes, there are still a few out there) and quite often I VPN into my own home from other places in the UK, work, family, mobile devices just so I know I have a "clean" internet connection.
I wonder how Netflix would identify that as unacceptable?
2, Most torrent clients now have a stream facility, If Netflix make it too difficult for the average user, then Utorrent may just become more popular....
I do agree though, it is a game of cat and mouse because anyone with half an inkling of technology knowledge will circumvent any blocks/ip restrictions/dns in a heartbeat and carry on watching regardless....
