The quote from Abad is speaking about a product that doesn't exist yet. A Netflix-like experience without massive holes in content. That may or may not be Netflix, if it ever comes to be realized.

You're attacking Netflix as-is, and saying that this couldn't occur. Yes, Netflix is laggy. Personally, I find the interface awful, browsing and navigating to be horrendous.

The question is: could a well-designed Netflix-LIKE product exist, with enough content available that a large number of people will use it instead of torrents? Would simultaneous theatre/online releases be enough?
