- dasil003 11y agoEssentially that's correct. We partnered with them early before we had a user base, and they were just trying to dip their feet into streaming. From our end we were not able to provide the audience to monetize their films, and from their end the economics of streaming were a completely different world from what they do with DVD, even for a company with the content and reputation of Criterion. We are still close with them, and hopefully we can do something again in the future.
