Netflix headquarters in Los Gatos

Netflix was founded in 1997 by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings, who had worked together at Pure Software. The site was launched in April 1998 with an online version of a more traditional pay-per-rental model (US$4 per rental plus US$2 in postage; late fees applied).[5] Netflix introduced the monthly subscription concept in September, 1999[6] and dropped the single rental model in early 2000. Since then it has built its reputation on its model of flat-fee unlimited rentals with no due dates, late fees, shipping or handling fees, or per-title rental fees.

Netflix has developed and maintained an extensive recommendation system based on rating and reviews by customers, similar to the system used by Amazon.com. The company believes this gives it an edge in competing with newcomers like Blockbuster Video. On October 1, 2006, Netflix offered a $1,000,000 prize for the first movie recommendation algorithm that could beat its existing algorithm, Cinematch, at predicting customer ratings by more than 10%.[7] Amazon. ...

Unlike most online on-demand entertainment services, such as Movielink, Netflix's offerings cover the vast range of DVD movies (and increasingly, television series) with 80,000 titles, including titles by major and minor studios (excluding most pornographic movies). Particularly, Netflix has become noted for its extensive collection of documentary films, Japanese anime, and independent films, many usually hard to find in traditional rental shops. Indeed, "some 35,000 different film titles are contained in the 1 million DVDs it sends out every day."[8] Netflix has recently begun playing a prominent role in independent film distribution. Through a new division called Red Envelope Entertainment, Netflix licenses and distributes independent films such as Born into Brothels and Sherrybaby. As of late 2006, Red Envelope Entertainment has also expanded into producing original content with filmmakers such as John Waters.[9] Movielink is a web-based video on demand (VOD) service offering movies, TV shows and other material for rental or purchase. ...

Netflix initiated an initial public offering (IPO) on May 29, 2002, selling 5,500,000 shares of common stock at the price of US$15.00 per share. On June 14, 2002, it sold an additional 825,000 shares of common stock at the same price. After incurring substantial losses during its first few years, Netflix posted its first profit during fiscal year 2003, earning US$6.5 million profit on revenues of US$272 million. The company is well-known for its worker-oriented culture, including unlimited vacation time for salaried workers and allowing those employees to take any amount of their paychecks in stock options.[10] IPO redirects here. ... is the 149th day of the year (150th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Netflix has been one of the most successful dot-com ventures. A New York Times article from September, 2002, said that, at the time, Netflix mailed about 190,000 discs per day to its 670,000 monthly subscribers. The company's published subscriber counts have increased from one million by the fourth quarter of 2002 to around 5.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 2006. Netflix's growth has been fueled by the fast spread of DVD players in households; as of 2004, nearly two-thirds of U.S. homes have a DVD player. Netflix also operates an online affiliate program which has helped it to build online sales for DVD rentals.

Competitive environment

Netflix's success has inspired a number of other DVD rental companies both in the United States and abroad, but none of the purely online companies appear to approach Netflix in terms of size or revenues. Wal-Mart began an online rental service in October 2002, but left the market in May 2005 and now has a cross-promotional arrangement with Netflix. Netflix has also cited Amazon.com as a potential competitor.[11] Amazon.com operates online rentals in the UK and Germany but has remained coy about any intentions for the U.S. market.

Blockbuster Video, the world's largest store-rental chain, entered the U.S. online market in August 2004 with a US$19.95 subscription. This sparked a price war; Netflix had just raised its flagship 3-disc plan from US$19.95 to US$21.99 before Blockbuster's launch, but by October had reduced this to US$17.99. Blockbuster responded with rates as low as US$14.99 for a time, but by August 2005 both companies settled at the (identical) current rates. On July 22, 2007, Netflix announced that they would be dropping two of their more popular plan's prices by $1 in an effort to better compete with Blockbuster's online-only plan offerings.[13] Blockbuster's subscriber base after one year was roughly a third of Netflix's size and growing.[citation needed] Netflix founder Reed Hastings commented in a January 2005 interview that rival Blockbuster threw "everything but the kitchen sink at us."[14] Blockbuster video store This article is about the chain of video stores. ...

Many video store chains have unlimited rental plans similar to Netflix. Hollywood Video started Movie Value Pass (MVP) in late 2004, which lets customers rent 3 movies at a time (due in five days) for US$15 a month. New releases are usually excluded for two to six weeks from the MVP "Basic" plan. Blockbuster started Movie Pass in 2004, which lets customers keep 2-3 DVDs at a time for US$25-30 a month without restrictions or due dates. Hollywood's MVP "Premium" offers the same benefits for a comparable price. Both still require the customer to travel to the store to rent and return movies, and their selection is not as diverse. Movie Gallery, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is the second largest movie and game rental company in the United States, behind Blockbuster Video. ...


Netflix vs. Blockbuster

On April 4, 2006, Netflix filed a patent infringement lawsuit in which they demanded a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Blockbuster's online DVD rental subscription program violates two patents held by Netflix. The first cause of action alleges Blockbuster's infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,024,381 (issued April 4, 2006, only hours before the lawsuit was filed) by copying the "dynamic queue" of DVDs available for each customer, Netflix's method of using the ranked preferences in the queue to send DVDs to subscribers, and Netflix's method permitting the queue to be updated and reordered.[15] The second cause of action alleges infringement of Patent No. 6,584,450 (issued June 24, 2003) which covers in less detail the subscription rental service as well as Netflix's methods of communication and delivery.[16] The dispute was ended a year later, on June 25, 2007, with both companies declining to disclose the terms of their legal settlement except for Blockbuster saying that it wouldn't have a major impact on its future financial performance.[17][18] Blockbuster also said that the company planned to close 282 stores that year to shift focus to its online service.

In Fall of 2006, Blockbuster signed a deal with The Weinstein Company, that gives them exclusive rental rights for the studio's films, starting January 1, 2007.[19] This would force Netflix to obtain copies from mass merchants or retailers, instead of dealing with the company.[20] Netflix has speculated that this might result in higher costs and/or smaller quantities purchased.[21] As of June 2007, Netflix continues to rent Weinstein DVDs. They now have Unknown, School For Scoundrels, and Harsh Times, among others. The First Sale Doctrine allows Netflix and other video rental businesses to rent movies released by the Weinstein Company, but the long-term effects of the Blockbuster/The Weinstein Company deal remain uncertain.

While netflix has remained successful in the movie rental industry, many free online movie networkshave begun gaining popularity with internet users who choose to watch movies online.


"Throttling"

Netflix's allocation policy—referred to by many as "throttling"—gives priority shipping and selection to customers who rent fewer discs per month. Higher volume renters may see some of their shipments delayed, sent across country, or sent out of order.[22] Netflix currently claims that "the large majority of our subscribers are able to receive their movies in about one business day following our shipment of the requested movie from their local distribution center."[23] However, not all shipments come from the subscriber's local distribution center. Shipments from distant centers are often delayed, as well. This article does not cite its references or sources. ...


The Chavez lawsuit

In September, 2004, a consumer class action lawsuit, Frank Chavez v. Netflix, Inc,[24] was brought against Netflix in San Francisco Superior Court. The suit alleged false advertising, in relation to claims of "unlimited rentals" with "one-day delivery." In January 2005, Netflix changed its "Terms of Use" to acknowledge what has commonly become known as "throttling." (Mike Kaltschnee, owner of the Hacking Netflix blog, says Netflix calls this practice "smoothing" internally.)[25] In law, a class action is an equitable procedural device used in litigation for determining the rights of and remedies, if any, for large numbers of people whose cases involve common questions of law and fact. ...

In October of 2005 Netflix proposed a settlement for those who had enrolled as a paid Netflix member prior to January 15, 2005. Former members would be able to renew with a one-month free membership, and those still currently members would receive a one month free upgrade to the next highest membership level. Netflix's settlement denied the allegations or any wrongdoing, and the case did not reach a legal judgment. Netflix estimated the settlement cost at approximately US $4 million, which included up to US$2.53 million to cover plaintiff lawyer fees. Not offering registration for it on their website, a controversial aspect of the original settlement offer was that the membership or upgrade provided would continue in place after the free month provided by the settlement, with the customer being charged. On January 5, 2006, Trial Lawyers for Public Justice filed a challenge to the proposed settlement stating that (among other things) the necessity to opt out of the upgraded or renewed accounts at the end of the free month ultimately amounts to a "marketing tool" for Netflix due to the increase in revenues that can be expected from members who fail to opt-out at the end of the term.[26] The Federal Trade Commission also filed an amicus brief urging rejection or modification of the settlement terms for similar reasons, describing them as appearing "dangerously close to a promotional gimmick." In February 2006 Netflix indicated that it would alter the settlement terms so that customers would be required to actively approve any continuation after the free month provided by the settlement. The final settlement hearing was on March 22, 2006. After the settlement was agreed upon, Netflix opened up registration on their website, with a deadline of June 26, 2006.[27] On September 6, 2006, an appeal was filed in California Appellate Courts, 1st Appellate District. The settlement benefit will not be distributed until the appeals process is completed, which could take a year or more.[28] is the 15th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The "Releasing This Week" Page

The Netflix Website had a long existing page called "Releasing This Week" (RTW). It allowed Netflix customers to easily view new DVDs that Netflix released for rental each week.[citation needed]


On December 21, 2007, the link to the page was removed without notice and replaced by a slider system showing only four older movies at a time. This new page is called "Popular New Releases" but does not list the most recently released movies.[29] is the 355th day of the year (356th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The list of new releases pages are still on the server and are still active, though no menu or links options exist in the browser to access the page. The direct link is now available here.


On January 1, 2008, a Netflix employee posted on the blog the unofficial reasoning for removing the RTW page. Subscribers were using the RTW page to add movies to their queue. They would then move those movies to the top of the queue, and complain if there was a wait for the movies. By removing the RTW page, customers would be hindered in queuing new releases and therefore be unable to complain that they were not immediately available. Critics have suggested that this is just another Netflix effort to enact "throttling."[30] is the 1st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2008 (MMVIII) is the current year, a leap year that started on Tuesday of the Anno Domini (or common era), in accordance to the Gregorian calendar. ...
