Re: Netflix stands up to pirates
Well, the one thing that these hackers did provide is early access to the new season of OITNB, which is something that Netflix doesn't seem to be matching. It's not releasing its official OITNB season early, but then again, when it does, it will release all of the episodes together at the same time, so there's not much impact on Netflix's business.

> "I think Netflix could afford to stand its ground.." (edited)
I don't think Netflix's financial stability is the reason behind it being able to refuse to pay a ransom to hackers. Netflix simply has a hacker-resistant business model where its users are subscribers who pay for convenience. The hackers offer no convenience for pirates and don't take away the convenience that Netflix offers to anyone.

Re: Packages
Netlix is apparently tolerant to piracy -- they just refused to pay a ransom to hackers who got ahold of the current season of Orange is the new black before Netflix released it. And there's some good reason to think Netflix won't be harmed by OITNB being available on Bittorrent sites.

> "As I said, I'm really thinking it's just that "Binge Rate" sounds better than "temporary week." But you could tie it to times of year when there's a high volume of viewers; "Netflix Binge Rate available for next two weeks only!"
The thing is.. Netflix already does a "promotional binge month" in a more targeted way when it selectively offers a "first free month" of service to members who dropped the service or to new customers who have never tried it. It doesn't need to offer a better promotion than that right now... Maybe if Hulu or other streaming services get more competitive?
