  My reading of his argument is that it's a conspiracy between Netflix, Hulu, etc, to make more money for themselves. They're not the rights holders.

I understand it, and I'm not sure why you felt the need to state it. > My reading of his argument is that it's a conspiracy between Netflix, Hulu, etc, to make more money for themselves. I was trying to find a nice way to say "I think that you read the argument wrong". darpa_escapee's argument is about a conspiracy of content owners. The conspiracy that they're talking about is spreading content from the major providers across as many distribution channels as possible, so that one would have to subscribe to half a dozen services to get access to all the media produced by a particular content owner, for example.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. khederos clarified my argument well. Netflix is at the behest of the rights holders who want to collect licensing fees from as many customers as possible. One way to do that is to divide their content catalogs among many different services.
