Belvidere actually received a cease and desist letter from Netflix early in 2009- apparently because Netflix traced a lot of traffic back to our network ingress/egress IP. Netflix wanted our District to pony up $750 if we wanted to use their material as a resource, too. Which we politely declined, then put the kibosh on teachers using these resources via our content filter.
Ironically, it seems that there were only a small handful of teachers at the high schools using the streaming services. However, they were using it extensively. As it turned out, they were also using it for rewards, rather than curricular integration. But then again, it's not like Netflix has hundreds of thousands of movies available for streaming, anyway. Most of the time when I've browsed their streamable collection, I've seen that one would be hard pressed to find anything in their offerings that could be used for curricular integration.

We do not have any staff here that has gone down that path.
