Heads up on Revised Netflix Settlement

The times they are a-changin’.

This post seems to be older than 17 years—a long time on the internet. It might be outdated.

Since I am a NetFlix user, I thought I’d pass this along:

From www.betanews.com:

Netflix users will now receive a one-month service level upgrade free of charge. This means that Netflix users subscribed to the 3 DVDs at-a-time program will be upgraded to 4 DVDs at-a-time for one month. Former subscribers can also apply to receive one month of free service.

Lawyers for both sides had originally crafted the proposal to allow Netflix to automatically bill customers after the free month. That option has been stricken from the new settlement, and the two primary lawyers in the case, Adam Gutride and Seth Safier, will now only receive $1.3 million.

This deal is obviously much better and more of a settlement and less of “promotional vehicle for Netflix.”
