An email I sent upon cancelling my netflix account

I had only recently signed up for an account at Netflix and was very much looking forward to taking full advantage of your service when I learned of the AMPTP's failure to provide the writers of the films and television shows that I enjoy with fair compensation for the work that they put in to creating this art.

I cannot with a clear conscience continue to rent or purchase films and television shows, like The Daily Show or The Office, knowing that the money I am spending on these items is primarily benefitting members of an organization that is treating the creators so unjustly.

I have faith that the AMPTP will eventually come to understand that television and film audiences value quality art, and, therefore, fair compensation for the creators of the shows we love.

I look forward to becoming a member of Netflix again, when I am sure that writers and other artists are being justly rewarded for the work they do.

Sincerely,

A Once and Future Member
