Well, I'm actually encouraged by moves like their Netflix integration. They're showing a willingness to experiment with the business model, which is crucial for survival. Plus, with such a big installed base (*some* of whom are presumably still paying monthly), I have to suspect that they've got reasonably good recurring revenue for minimal recurring cost. So my guess is that they aren't going under soon.

Lifetimes follow the machine, and I think always have

Yeah -- far as I can tell, I got confused because of the transfers they briefly allowed from older lifetime subscriptions to the Series 3 when it came out...
