Exactly like that! See, you're not dumb, just unexperienced. If you want 
to know more about being a nice guy in cyberspace, you can skim through 
the core rules at this netiquette guide [1].

By the way, it's great that you've decided to not give in to Netflix 
(and Microsoft). It may be a bit painful at first (as you seem to be a 
bit of a movie fan), but it's the right decision. If you think Netflix 
should change their policy you can help make that happen by letting them 
know why you stopped using their services. If you make them aware of 
what you think is important it will become important to them to. And 
tell your family and friends about your decision.

I would like to think that you'll spend all that extra time that you've 
gained know on helping gNewSense. :) But if you need a break once in a 
while, there are some good (legal) sources of free video material, like 
archive.org [2]. It has all kinds of videos, including filmed 
presentations at free software conferences (educational!). And have you 
seen Elephants Dream [3] and Big Buck Bunny [4] yet?
