the way i see it , it ' s no different than those keychains you can buy that have your name on it . they have names like dan , steve , chris , mike . because they will sell . why would a company make a keychain that lists the name daqueeshaquante ? it ' s just a shitty allocation of capital . <| sep |> I always thought he meant Hamburg <| sep |> Just pointing out that the infallibly genius Gregory Maxwell can ' t even spell a 5 th grade spelling bee word . Note that everyone makes mistakes , but not everyone lives on a selfcreated pedestal of intellectual superiority . <| sep |> Well if they can even charge this tax , they will force the burden on netflix to collect and remit the tax , so it would be added to your monthly bill . But as others have said , there is no precedence to charge you a tax on using a utility for a specific purpose . I would be surprised if this happened at all , and if it was not ruled against in the courts if it does happen . Netflix has a great deal of money , and can afford to litigate this case . I would assume they would do so if it came into effect .
