Netflix’s shares

One of the most polemical discussions that gained visibility with the expansion of internet possibilities is the matter of whether movies, TV series, CDs, and all sorts of entertainment material, will continue to have a place in the market. Computer geeks manage to transform these materials into virtual data, which allows other users to download them to their personal computer. A company which is exploring the internet to make money out of is Netflix.

Netflix’s shares through the roof

The website of the company was presenting some technical problems when users tried to access it and watch their usual films through the streaming service. A message of “the Netflix site and the ability to instantly watch movies are both temporarily unavailable” was the only sign of conectivity to the service. People in charge of the Netflix website say that they still do not know why the jam happened.

On the other hand, a few hours the website was out of order, the shares for Netflix company increased in value, which gave the company an upgrade on the market. The shares went up because of a Credit Suisse analyst who decided to invest in Netflix, instead of in Amazon’s or Warner Bros’ similar streaming services.

TV series on streaming

Besides the option of watching movies by streaming, Netflix also had some TV series available. The previous seasons of Nurse Jackie, Californication and Dexter, which belong to CBS, could be watched on the internet channel. Now, these series will be available only on CBS’ own Showtime streaming channel.

Now, Netflix has just made a deal to show a TV series, which will be starred by Kevin Spacey. The name of the new series is House of Cards and it will be directed by David Fincher. This opening is an opportunity for Netflix gain visibility on the programming market and manage to compete with big studios’ streaming channels.
