Haha, no they wouldn't. A good portion of Linux users would bitch about how the client isn't completely open source. Netflix may get a couple thousand extra subscribers if they made a linux client but nowhere near enough to cover the 1 million they are estimated to lose due to the price increase.

What if you're a visitor with an out of state car,

States have access to the license plate data from other states. The bill will be sent to the owner of the license plate.

or a rental car?

The rental car companies will deal with this the same way that they deal with parking tickets and red light tickets. Forward the bill/ticket to the person who had rented the vehicle on that particular day.

Yes, they are trying to kill off blu-ray, 5-10 years from now. I know it can be hard to read them but the summary states that they have announced the development of the laser diode. They haven't released a product, they haven't come up with specs, they haven't even created a single diode yet. This product is years and years off. Stop whining.
