Yes. I write software for netflix.
Do you honestly believe that Apple has any choice as to how much data they provide? Do you think apple give detailed metrics because they're warm and kind business partners?
I'm pretty certain apple provides very detailed data because they sell digital ownership rights and PPV contracts. Their contracts/agreements with the distributors would mandate detailed reporting of each sale.
Netflix does not sell digital movie nor do they offer PPV.

Fine, but my point about the First Sale Doctrine stands - it is not the settled legal situation Wikipedia (and thus you) claim it to be, and I've shown why. You can take or leave my other opinions as you see fit. Do you honestly believe that Apple has any choice as to how much data they provide? Do you think apple give detailed metrics because they're warm and kind business partners? It's part of their offer, not a matter of compulsion. I'm just pointing out that distributors would love to have similar information from Netflix, so you could, you know, make more money by trading it for a small reduction in your wholesale costs.
