I never flip flopped. I questioned the notion put forward by DamianJ that Nefllix has succeeded because it gave former pirates what they wanted and converted them into paying customers. Ask any stock analyst who follows Neflix as a company and they will tell you that Netflix has succeeded by taking all of the customers away from Blockbuster Video and other brick and mortar rental stores, not because they converted pirates into paying customers.
Netflix and iTunes have had a negligible impact on piracy, that was my point and that's why I questioned whether or not those two companies "fixed" piracy as was claimed in the original post.
