Netflix Price Hikes Are So Outrageous That They’re Actually Illegal
By TeeJay Small
| Published

Netflix subscribers have been subject to numerous price hikes in recent years, as the streaming giant continues squeezing every possible droplet of profitability out of their audience. If you feel that these price hikes are so outrageous that they should be outlawed, you’re not alone. Apparently, the government of Italy is taking action against Netflix, with Variety reporting that Italian customers may be entitled to millions in refunds. While this bears little immediate relevance to U.S. audiences, the ongoing legal case could set an important precedent for streaming practices in the future.
Per Variety, a Rome court has sided with a consumer advocacy group against Netflix. The filing argues that exponential price hikes, which took place from 2017 through 2024, are in direct violation of Italy’s national consumer code. Specifically, the Movimento Consumatori claims that corporations cannot unilaterally raise their rates on subscription-based services without offering advanced notice and a valid reason for the change. Since Netflix has made no major sweeping changes to its service and offered no such notice, they are alleged to be in violation of Italy’s consumer protection laws.
Netflix Fights Back
Reps from Netflix have already announced an intention to appeal this ruling, though it’s unclear what grounds they have to argue. The streamer has 90 days from the initial April 1 ruling to make their case, or they’ll be subject to daily $800 penalties. Meanwhile, lawyers Paolo Fiorio and Riccardo Pinna have demanded Netflix offer refunds of hundreds of dollars to individual subscribers.
Specifically, the legal team articulated “A Premium subscriber who has paid for Netflix continuously from 2017 to the present day is entitled to a refund of about €500 ($577), while a standard subscriber is due a refund of about €250 ($288).” Netflix boasted a subscriber base of over 8 million monthly users in Italy back in 2024, so these payouts could range into the hundreds of millions if they come to fruition.
Will Netflix Actually Have To Pay Up?
For now, it’s hard to say with any certainty that Netflix will pay up, or that this legal case will have sweeping ramifications for the streaming industry. Individual cases have been brought against streamers in European nations such as Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands, though they have yet to cause any major ripple effect. But, if Netflix does seek to continue raising its rates, it bears asking, what exactly are we paying extra for?
To paraphrase one proud Italian-American from the small screen, Netflix subscribers may soon be informing the streamer, “You’ve got 90 days to give me my money.” If Netflix wants to respond with a Tony Soprano quote of their own, I’d suggest “with all due respect, you got no f-ing idea what it’s like to be number one.”

The 15 Best New Spring Arrivals at lululemon
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Whether you wear athleisure to hit up the gym or just to go about your daily life, lululemon is making a successful effort at convincing us to shop its new arrivals. Between upgraded functional designs and new spring-worthy colors, it’s a good time to refresh our leggings, bras and belt bags. So, those yoga classes, running sessions and casual coffee shop trips are going to be our runways!
Although lululemon is known for its comfortable training gear in buttery-soft fabrics, the brand has made an impact in casual wear, too. The new spring arrivals include non-athleisure wear, like maxi dresses and sweatpant jeans. Who knows! Maybe lululemon will upgrade more than just your workout clothing collection.
15 lululemon New Spring Arrivals on Our Wishlist
1. Our Favorite: The viral Everywhere Belt Bag is still going strong, and we have our eye on the two new color options. One is pastel, and one is bright, so we’re having a tough time choosing just one.
2. Denim in Disguise: Sweatpant jeans just might be the best hack of the season, and lululemon’s take on the trend is here. The EasyFive wide-leg pants come in four colors, 10 sizes and three inseams.
3. Sporty Spice: Protect your skin from the sun (and look cute doing it!) in this adjustable lightweight visor. It’s designed to wear while running and training, so you know it’ll stay put.
4. Better Bra: If you don’t want a bra weighing you down, try the Straight-Strap Sports Bra. It offers light support but still works with a B/C cup.
5. Must-Have Maxi: This two-in-one maxi dress can be worn as a strapless dress or a maxi skirt. Either way, you’ll appreciate the sweat-wicking fabric during the hotter months.
6. Cozy Crewneck: No matter the season, a relaxed, soft crewneck will always find its way onto your body. This one comes in lululemon’s new Candy Cloud color which is the right shade for spring and summer.
7. Tightened Tights: Leggings with a drawcord? Genius! The Groove high-rise tights ensure you have the optimal fit while practicing yoga in the buttery-soft fabric.
8. Sweet Skirt: lululemon’s Align Skirt got an upgrade with a long shorts liner and cool colorblock details. The side slide ensures that you can move in yoga, Pilates and beyond.
9. Rain Resistant: Don’t let the rain stop you from getting your workout in outdoors. The Scuba Cropped Anorak Evolve jacket is lightweight yet protects you from showers with its hood.
10. Timeless Tank: Just in time for the warmer weather, lululemon released the shade Ocean Wave. You can shop the hue in the Align Tank Top, which provides light support and a buttery-soft feel.
11. Wonderful Wide Leg: Your favorite lululemon Align pants now come in a wide-leg version. This high-rise flare option has a hidden pop of color at the waistband and overlapping side slits.
12. Trusty Tee: A relaxed crewneck tee will always be a go-to choice, and we love that this one comes in two new colors and one returning favorite. It’s mostly cotton makeup and four-way stretch guarantees all-day comfort.
13. Safe Slides: Whether you’re headed to a workout class or just want an easy shoe, these slip-on woven slides make it simple. The upper strap is plush without any seams in contact with your feet, so yes, they really are that comfortable.
14. Daily Dress: You already love the built-in shelf bra on the lululemon Align Dress, but it just got a sweet upgrade. The better shorts liner is 4 inches long with drop-in pockets and an open-back waistband for bathroom breaks.
15. Color of the Season: For those chilly mornings, we’re snagging the Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie that comes in the new Matcha Magic color. It has useful features, like thumbholes, a hidden card sleeve, ribbed panels and more.

His Sons Shine, Family Absences Spark Buzz
Whew, roomies… all eyes were on the Michael Jackson biopic premiere, and the Jackson family definitely showed up—but not without a few noticeable moments that have folks talking. From fashion tributes to family pull-ups, the red carpet gave what it needed to give—but y’all already know the internet clocked everything. And let’s just say… while some showed up and showed out, others had folks asking, “Now wait a minute…”

Prince & Bigi Jackson Turn Heads At ‘Michael’ Premiere
Prince Jackson and Bigi Jackson, formerly known as “Blanket,” stepped out and had folks doing a double-take as they made a rare red carpet appearance at the ‘Michael’ film premiere in Berlin. The brothers came through channeling their dad, Michael Jackson, with Prince rocking a sharp black suit paired with a red shirt and tie, while Bigi added his own tribute with gold details and an armband featuring one of MJ’s iconic poses. And they didn’t pull up solo either—Roomies, it was definitely a family affair with Jackie, Jermaine, and Marlon Jackson in the building, plus Jaafar, Jermajesty, and Randy Jackson Jr. all showing love for the King of Pop.
Fans Question Who Showed Up—And Who Didn’t
Fans wasted no time running to The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section—and whew, they went IN. Some were simply asking where Paris Jackson was. Meanwhile, others joked that Janet Jackson probably said, “Leave me out of this one.” And of course, a few folks couldn’t help but side-eye Jermaine Jackson, saying he was moving like he was the star of the night
One Instagram user @aphilly92 asked, “Where’s Paris, Janet, Latoya???“
This Instagram user @laffordj shared, “Michael would be SO PLEASED seeing everyone roasting tf outta Jermaine!!!😂😂”
And, Instagram user @vickyy.vickyyy said, “omgeeeee look at Blanket😩😩😩❤️❤️”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @cxaxrxexe wrote, “Yall making fun of Jermaine but he was ten toes down out of EVERYBODY during the trial. Iykyk ✈️🏃🏾♂️💨”
While Instagram user @sittinpretti83 added, “Baby, they beat Jermaine’s mug zoooooown!!! Got him looking like the BADDEST of em all!“
Finally, Instagram user @mista_posh commented, “Janet said take me out the groupchat 😂😂”
Paris Jackson’s Absence Sparks Questions At Premiere
Now y’all already know the internet was watching closely. And, it didn’t take long for folks to notice that Paris Jackson was nowhere to be found. Instead of hitting the red carpet, Paris was spotted back in L.A., posted up in West Hollywood, and casually smoking with a friend, which had fans raising eyebrows. But let’s be real, her absence didn’t totally shock some folks, especially since she’s been pretty vocal about not fully rocking with the biopic and even called out parts of the script that didn’t sit right with her.
While she’s since smoothed things over with Colman Domingo, she’s still reportedly at odds with the estate’s executors, John Branca and John McClain, even blaming them for issues with the film’s production. And to make things even more noticeable, Janet and LaToya Jackson were also missing, leaving fans side-eyeing who showed up—and who clearly kept their distance.

Netflix’s New Shark Thriller Is Already Chomping Up the Charts in Less Than 48 Hours
Less than two years after Netflix released the unexpectedly successful film Under Paris, the streamer has unveiled what appears to be a new movie crafted in that creature feature’s image and designed to repeat its performance. Directed by Xavier Gens, who broke out in Hollywood with the poorly received 2007 video game adaptation Hitman, Under Paris emerged as a word-of-mouth streaming sensation. The film’s success showed that there is a large appetite for campy content aimed at the non-Emily in Paris demographic. Unsurprisingly, a sequel to Under Paris is in development. While fans wait for the sequel to make landfall, they seem to be tuning into Netflix’s new replacement.
Like Under Paris, the new movie is also directed by a European filmmaker. In fact, the filmmaker in question has already delivered a Hollywood blockbuster. We’re talking about the Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola, who broke out with the Nazi zombie movie Dead Snow in 2009 and went on to direct Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. The 2013 action film starred Gemma Arterton and Jeremy Renner, and grossed around $225 million worldwide against a reported budget of $50 million. More recently, Wirkola directed Violent Night, the Christmas-themed action movie starring David Harbour. It grossed $76 million worldwide against a reported budget of $20 million, and like Under Paris, is set for a sequel.
There’s a Feeding Frenzy Among Creature Features
Wirkola’s latest film, however, is the Netflix creature feature Thrash. The movie follows a young woman who is trapped in her home during a Category 5 hurricane that brings with it a giant flood and a great white shark. Thrash opened to mediocre reviews and is currently sitting at a 38% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The movie is headlined by Bridgerton breakout Phoebe Dynevor, alongside Whitney Peak, Djimon Hounsou, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga‘s young star, Alyla Browne. According to FlixPatrol, Thrash became one of the most-watched movies on the domestic and worldwide Netflix viewership charts immediately after its debut. The days leading up to the film’s release saw another European director’s creature feature — Crawl — make a comeback on the domestic streaming charts. On the same day as Thrash‘s release, Netflix debuted the Indian creature feature Tu Yaa Main, which follows a couple fending off a man-eating crocodile while trapped in an empty swimming pool. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

10+ Years Later, This Controversial Western Is One of Streaming’s Biggest Surprises
Perhaps it’s a sign of the times that the Western genre has had such a massive resurgence. Many American viewers seem to be yearning for a bygone era, and shows like Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone deliver that nostalgia. Released in 2018, Yellowstone launched a new wave of interest in Westerns, led by its own spin-offs and a string of lavishly produced movies and shows from other studios. The decade leading up to Yellowstone‘s release was rather quiet on the Western front, although there were a handful of movies that managed to break through. They were invariably directed by the Coen Brothers or Quentin Tarantino. However, another critically acclaimed filmmaker was on the verge of making a Western before a decision she made fueled one of the biggest production controversies of the past couple of decades.
In 2012, Natalie Portman boarded the project along with director Lynne Ramsay. The movie in question was based on a Black List script by Brian Duffield. In the subsequent years, Joel Edgerton, Jude Law, and Michael Fassbender signed on to play supporting roles. The movie was set to be shot by the renowned cinematographer Darius Khondji, who worked with David Fincher on Se7en and more recently with Josh Safdie on Marty Supreme. However, on the day that filming was supposed to begin, Ramsay failed to show up on set. It was announced that she had quit the production, which prompted Khondji and Law to back out as well. Gavin O’Connor was hired as Ramsay’s replacement, with Portman’s Star Wars co-star Ewan McGregor stepping in to play the role vacated by Law.
Natalie Portman’s Western Has a Notorious Production History
The movie in question, Jane Got a Gun, was eventually released in 2016 after numerous delays. It received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office. Jane Got a Gun is now sitting at a 42% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “Jane Got a Gun flounders between campy Western and hard-hitting revisionist take on the genre, leaving Natalie Portman’s committed performance stranded in the dust.” The movie grossed only $3.8 million worldwide against a reported budget of $25 million. However, according to FlixPatrol, it was resurrected by fans this week, more than a decade after its disastrous theatrical run. Jane Got a Gun emerged as one of the most-watched movies on the global HBO Max chart. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
