Of course they would like Netflix to provide them service. As I said though, their only recourse is to whine. And 
cancel the service (they're not getting it anyway). That's the free market, take it or leave it.

A lot of people don't like the free market, but I gather that they're still a relative minority.

Optionally pay a $200 court fee to get your last $20 monthly payment back.
