Sunday dark ’s declaration from Netflix CEO Reed Hastings that the companywas to be break in twowas a thunderclap that quickly became a joke . According to Reed , Netflix will carry on to stream contentedness , while a new company called Qwikster would handle videodisc distribution . Unfortunately Netflix / Qwikster have n’t get the Qwikster Twitter handle fromweed - smoke gangstaz , Jason Castillo .

The question is , could Castillo trade his Twitter account to Netflix and spend the rest of the year smoke fat blunts with the financial manna from heaven ?
According to Twitter ’s terminal figure of Service , unless you have license from Twitter , you ca n’t sell your Twitter hold :
sell user names : Unless you have been specifically permit to do so in a separate concord with Twitter , you fit that you will not multiply , twinned , copy , sell , swop or resell the Services for any intent , where “ service ” is defined as follows : Your use of Twitter ’s product , service and web sites ( come to to collectively as the “ Services ” in this papers and excluding any services provided to you by Twitter under a freestanding written agreement ) is subject to the terms of a legal correspondence between you and Twitter .
Twitter wo n’t comment on private accounts , but I ’m sure if Netflix and Jason Castillo approached Twitter with a peck that made sense for both parties , they would be more than well-chosen to admit Castillo to trade his account .
If Twitter pass up to allow Jason to betray his handle to Netflix , there ’s always the adviser itinerary . In ordination to get around Twitter ’s TOS rule against selling name , CNN hired James Cox , the original owner of @CNNbrk , as a consultant . Part of his consulting contract stipulate that he would hand the rein of @CNNbrk over to CNN .
Also : fit in to a search of the USPTO ’s database , Netflix either has n’t trademarked the name Qwikster yet , or they did so lately enough that it has n’t been to the full process yet . In either case , it ’s just another hint that this integral process was a rush job . One that might just greatly benefit the net ’s novel favorite foul - mouthed , pot - smoke Elmo .
