That's an interesting perspective. You can justify it because you're sharing an account with your sighted wife (who probably watches Netflix as much as I download music). I signed up for a Netflix trial a few weeks ago, and the majority of the movies and TV shows I found on the main page unfortunately had no audio description. I would certainly pay for a subscription if I could get most of the new releases described and if they wouldn't restrict a lot of movies/shows based on country.
