According to sources, the newly released fourth season of 'Arrested Development' was pirated over 100,000 times in its first 24 hours.
As expected, copies of the show were available via warez and torrent sites minutes after the show launched exclusively on Netflix on Sunday.
While the number may seem low when compared to Game of Thrones and other broadcast hits, it is important to ... [ read the full article ]

That number isn't that high. Netflix isn't available in every country around the globe you know. Plus some people just want to see if its any good before they consider spending money to watch it. I am sure others wouldn't pay for it no matter what though. They figure they pay enough for their internet connection and upkeep of their equipment.

Quoted for truth.
Netflix is the greediest pieces of crap on earth. The raised prices and lost content. You are now paying more for less. All they have as the feather in their cap is Arrested Development. Most of the big studios have pulled their content from Netflix. I don't knock people like "Dragon3000" for being ignorant to this as most people that are not "in the know" tech news junkies like us regulars on afterdawn don't even know about all the content Netflix has lost over the past year and a half. It's that ignorance that keeps Netflix alive.
If people knew the only things you can stream other than Arrested Development are grainy, pixelated D-list low budget movies from the 80's and 90's they wouldn't brag about Netflix. Netflix has NEVER been the same since the greedy CEO jacked up the prices 200% and then tried to split the service in 2. They have lost stock value, bled cash, lost major content and studio support, and had a mass exodus of subscriptions.

Bloody Ell, dude! you seriously have a major issue with Netflix. Granted, I didn't know all about the '200% increase' and so on an so forth, but that's not going to stop me from using the service. It provides me with what it advertises, yes some of the movies are a little older but that's ok with me becuase I haven't actually watched a lot of the films listed and so I get my money's worth. If the price was £10 or over a month then I wouldn't bother as I would think that they are taking the piss, but for £5.99 a month?! including the fact that I can watch it on my phone (not like Lovefilm), on my Wii and on the internet, it's not that bad.
nah a lot of people are this way. also your are talking about just streaming for 5.99 yes? well you used to get both...they're pathetic streaming content was just an extra part of their website so you could watch something while waiting on a dvd in the mail. then they made you pay extra for that and the dvd rental. gotta slowly take away what we give you but please don't think you suckers can pay any less for it..
