Does Netflix make shows? Or does it slam its name onto filmmakers it pays to make content? If so, one of those things simply requires throwing cash at people, which I think is a skill that most people can learn.

They had to operate under the radar to avoid the law, so you know the answer to your question

They use the subscription money to pay production studios. What did the pirate site use the subscription money for?
