Another missive by the FSF that's mostly meaningless to people who aren't willing to make huge sacrifices in their lives to avoid the (cue ominous music and thunder) 'non-free' bogeyman of the week.
Seriously. My sincerest apologies if this sounds bitter, but this is a completely non-constructive rant. Again.
The FSF's stances are completely untenable to most people.
Aside: Why would someone who makes a principled stand on free software ever have signed up with Netflix in the first place?!

Maybe some people who didn't take a principled stand on software freedom, and therefore signed up for Netflix, can be convinced to take a stand and cancel.
Well, the many members of the free software movement used to be OK with using websites that did not give you open access to their stuff, since only the site itself was actually using the software and thus it wasn't violating your right to examine, modify and redistribute.
