The movie is probably available somewhere on BitTorrent; while retrieving it in that way might violate copyright law in your locality, it is a way to get the movie and watch it using only free software.

That was yesterday, saturday, so i probably won't hear anything until tomorrow monday. i'm so smart. that was a good movie, erasing windows entirely. crap like that comes back to bite. help!i want a way to watch netflix movies online. i have a two-week free trial that ends in 4 days, and i haven't been able to download them. i called Netflix, the guy said it took Mac 9 years 11 months to be able to access the movies online, which just now happened. the guy said access for gnu/Linux machines would never happen if it took apple nearly ten years to get concessions from Microsoft. he said they've got a LOT of new customers. i did use ice and user agent swith to impersonate ie, but i got the message that i needed to enable activex. it seems my only option is to get a windows or mac os and put it on my other partition. do you agree?I definitely not agree. The best option would be __not__ to use Netflix and instead use a service that doesn't force you to use nonfree software.------------------------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list address@hidden http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
