"Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey, who this year starred in Netflix's online-only original series House of Cards, chided the TV industry for not doing more to cater to changes in people's viewing behaviors that have spawned from tech changes and social media growth.\nSpacey delivered the keynote speech at the Edinburgh International TV Festival on Thursday, on the heels of House of Cards earning nine Emmy nominations \u2014 the first time the TV academy has given nods to a series hosted online instead of on cable or network TV.\nSee also: Netflix Brags About 14 Emmy Nominations in New Teaser\n\"Clearly the success of the Netflix model \u2014 releasing the entire season of House of Cards at once \u2014 proved one thing: The audience wants the control, they want the freedom,\" Spacey said. \"If they want to binge as they've been doing on House of Cards and lots of other shows, then we should let them binge. I can't tell you how many people have stopped me on the street and said, 'Thanks, you sucked three days out of my life.'\"\nSpacey noted Netflix doesn't want to repeat the music industry's mistakes of not evolving along with audience demands, saying the TV networks are starting to learn valuable lessons from looking back at the music industry's failures. \n\"Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it,\" he added. \nIn his speech (watch below), Spacey also criticized networks' expensive pilot process and emphasized how a new generation of viewers are consuming shows through digital avenues.  \nSee also: \u2018Orange Is the New Black\u2019 Is the Series Netflix Was Made For\n\"The audience has spoken. They want stories. They're dying for them. They're rooting for us to give them the right thing,\" he said. \"And they will talk about it, binge on it, carry it with them on the bus and the hairdresser, force it on their friends, tweet, blog, Facebook, make fan pages, silly GIFs and God knows what else about it.\"\n\nBONUS: 15 Dating Tips From 'Game of Thrones'\n\n\n\nDating Tips From Game of Thrones\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.
