Netflix Sneakiness--"Throttling"

Previously in Transcendental Generalization:

The sneaky part is, for this subscription, they fulfill movies out of a location far away from where I live. Hence, it takes five days for movies to go back and forth, and I can only watch a couple each month.

From CNN.com on Friday

Netflix typically sends about 13 movies a month to Villanueva's home in Warren, Michigan -- down from the 18 to 22 DVDs he once received before the company's automated system identified him as a heavy renter and began delaying his shipments to protect its profits.

Well, maybe they’ll change their policy in response to competition from Blockbuster Online (see their Super Bowl XL commercial).
