Kevin,
The terms of agreement are pretty clear that you
cannot: "modify, copy, distribute, transmit,
display, perform, reproduce, duplicate, publish,
license, create derivative works from, or offer
for sale..." any part of their content.

I'm guessing that Netflix Canada doesn't come
with PPR (we're much more strict in Canada, eh?). Can someone confirm this.
Thanks,

That's great to hear, Dennis.
When the cost is only $8/month (or the cost of 2
lattes), students and faculty can potentially
get their own personal accounts and watch what
they need on their own laptops or viewing
devices on their own time, without ever visiting
a library. This obviously does not deal with the
issue of teaching, on campus, and classroom use,
but if the streaming catalogue improves to the
point of having titles that are minimally in the
Film Studies canon, it may take off as an
alternate way of students getting access to
materials without having the material on
university servers. Rather than buying an
additional textbook they get a personal subscription to Netflix.
Personally, I would prefer to watch a Blu-ray on
a THX-certified 65" 1080p monitor, but many
people would prefer the convenience of having instant accessibility.

Dear Oksana,
Netflix Canada is just getting started. In a
few weeks there'll be a lot more films
including some from Milestone. And I haven't
seen the contract, but there are a few titles
for Canada that the US don't have from us.
Best,
Dennis

Hello all,
Netflix streaming was introduced in Canada
yesterday with much fanfare. I was just
reviewing the terms of use on the Netflix.ca
site. It only offers a streaming service for
$7.99/month. At this point all of the films I
checked that are available for streaming in the
U.S. are not available for streaming in Canada, and I checked about a dozen.
Here are some interesting quotes from the terms of use:
