So far, every anime I've rented from Netflix has been English dub only.... which is an insta-fail. I do notice they're finally starting to offer a *few* foreign films in original audio with subs, but its live-action stuff.

In other words, this has no relevance for the majority of the planet... and Netflix is battling to keep from being squeezed out by the "traditional gatekeepers" in the regular movie spectrum. This is the WORLD wide web we're on... and, oh yeah... most of the US still doesn't have sufficient broadband capability for regular streaming which is why Netflix still has a physical DVD delivery side.

Last I checked not all the content available via American Netflix was available through Canadian Netflix, and some of what was wasn't available until well after the American release. I imagine the difference between a Latin American and North American service would be much greater.

All the "free" offers expire. You can sign up for 14 days then have to start paying. I suppose you can play whack-a-mole and create new accounts every time one expires, but that seems like a lot of effort to avoid paying $7/month.
Guest passes expire after 48 hours. I've wondered how much the expansion into J- and K-dramas has stimulated subscribership. Those combined anime/drama subscriptions cost $12/month. Considering that a full year at $84 would buy perhaps two or at most three DVD boxsets, it's a pretty modest price to pay to help underwrite the industry's productions.

Anyways I doubt they count the temporary free premium users in the count.
