I can't tell if we just saw a tipping point here. Maybe I'm just elevating this. It has the feel of when Apple inverted the negotiating positions between device makers and wireless providers.
Now I see why Netflix produced their own content. Negotiating for world-wide streaming rights can be tricky. Having a small set of content that they control, which gets turned into a guaranteed set of content that can be delivered for a global network gives them a lot of leverage for negotiating other content. Well played.
On the other hand, I remember Crunchyroll being available in many countries (not sure if that is world-wide), though they don't have the clout that Netflix has, and their content is very specific.
