You Can't Watch Netflix At Target

The broadband connection was down in the AllYourScreens.com offices this morning, so we reconvened to the local Starbucks, which happens to be located inside a Target. One of the consequences of that (besides the fact that the Target Cafe doesn't sell coffee) is that even though customers may be seated in the Starbucks, they actually connect to the Internet via the Target in-store wireless network.

When I tried to access Netflix using the Target network, the above splashpage popped up.

I don't have a problem with Target limiting someone from watching Netflix on their network, although I can't imagine many customers taking advantage of the opportunity if they did allow it. But it is an inconvenient side-effect for Starbucks customers who don't realize the limitations when they visit that in-store Starbucks.
