Probably the fact that Spain is the country with more downloads per internet user <\/a>in Europe made Spain the first EU country to get Netflix<\/a>. When I recently met with <\/a>Presidential hopeful Alfredo Rubalcaba he spoke about how much pressure the Spanish government received to stop the downloading of US content without pay in Spain and was very aware of how Spotify was making it in Spain as a legal alternative.<\/p>\n

Now the challenge will be to see if it was true that people downloaded because DVDs are a rip off or because they don’t want to pay any price for movies. Because Spotify really took off in Spain<\/a> but only the ad based version. Few pay. And there is no ad version of Netflix<\/a>. Only on Hulu there is. But to me Netflix is an incredible deal. To pay less than \u20ac10 per month for all you can eat quality streamed movies is unbelievable.<\/p>\n

I pay for Spotify and for Netflix. Netflix I had to sign up through our home in NYC and use it with VPN service Witopia that makes me show up as a US client.<\/p>\n

I love Spotify on my mobile!<\/p>\n
