    Why not grab Netflix now like i have? I have access to both US and UK Netflix library and it costs me $13/month. We watch it via the Wii U in the lounge room, PS3 in the bedroom, and the kids watch it on their tablets wherever they want in the house. I've found myself downloading less since having Netflix.

    Legit or region swapping shenanigans for the Wii U?

    Create a separate profile, input country of residence as United Kingdom, download Netflix from UK eShop, sign up for Netflix (about $5/month) and Unblock-us.com ($8/month) and follow set-up instructions on Unblock-us.com http://support.unblock-us.com/custom...rticles/879957. Just watch through regular profile. It's all legit, no dodgy downloading or software.

    I seriously don't have the time to sit down and watch ANY TV show. Plus most are garbage anyway. (Games Of Thrones is overrated tripe....it's soooo boring!)
    I'm happy to buy the blockbuster Blu-Ray movies and leave it at that.
    And.... I would not know how to download a movie even if I tried.

    They are going to piss off a lot of young voters just to keep foxtel rich. Hopefully there will be easy ways to buy pass their bs.

    The Netflix library consists of both TV shows and movies, old and new, fiction and documentary. Actually, i've noticed a few movies hitting Netflix while they're still showing in theatres here. Plus there's some awesome shows that are Netflix originals such as Derek starring Ricky Gervais and heaps of stand-up comedy shows not shown anywhere else. Theres's actually more content on there then there is on Foxtel, plus it's immediately watchable with no ads, no waiting around for whatever time for the show to start. Highly recommended. And i agree on Game of Thrones, turned off after 10 minutes.

    The people losing out if these laws come in will be telcos. Why would anyone still pay for a 500gb internet plan each month when they cant use the bandwidth? people will downgrade their net plans and put the money into other tools such as VPN's which will still allow downloading etc.

    tldr aus business will lose out because the government needs to make Rupert Murdoch a few more million

    I'd love to go with an option like Netflix but my home internet connection is rubbish. I don't get anywhere near the required minimum speeds for most internet streaming services.
