That's a remarkably unapologetic post from the Netflix manager. 'Hey look at how socially responsible we're being' (never mind people have been after us to do this for years in general and since last summer in the Daredevil case).

Oh, yeah, they are making it seem like it is their idea. Which is slimy.

I guess I'm kinda glad I'm not a Netflix subscriber, although this is a bit of good news at long last. But still, you'd think they would at least offer up an apology and acknowledge everyone who advocated so tirelessly in order for this to happen.
