Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

BC/Federal govt is collecting a shit load of tax revenue from the Netflix/Amazon/Apple/ Disney/Hulu/CW/HBO streaming service film/TV shows being shot here.

It's insane how much content is being produced.

Or Americans could boycott the GOP instead and get taxes from all of them?

According to that article, Netflix is playing by the rules. The rules suck, but anyone with a brain knew that. 

Support laws that make corporations pay their taxes.  Unless you can vote in the US this doesn’t concern you and you can’t do anything about it.

+ According to Asad Abukhalil, a professor at Cal State-Stanislaus, “in the new Netflix ‘Mossad’ series, there is a scene where Lebanese youth are seen chanting ‘O, Nasrallah’. The English subtitles read: ‘death to Israel.’. Kid you not.”

As I understand it, Netflix wants to move to all their own original programming. When they do that, they will kill themselves, problem over.

I doubt they want to do that since there is no sense in giving up on a massive library, but the networks do seem to be clawing back their content for their own streaming dreams.  There is almost enough original content on Netflix now to compete with the old school networks IMO.
