The answer is just to sell video content play on demand. You can get access to a substandard catalogue with Netflix (it's really poor in the UK, at least) or you can just pay for access on a show by show basis. The key is that they have to make it very easy for people to use, and allow people to use the media files as they wish. It's iTunes over again, only this time with a different set of established interests.

That and iTunes existed long enough that if it was a competition to Netflix, it would have actually competed. Given that Netflix still grows like crazy, there's no evidence for that. And I pay for Netflix anyway, because it does have lots of stuff. A monthly netflix subscriptions costs ~3 TV episodes on Amazon Instant Video (and less than even 1 decent movie).
