Netflix is a software company just as much as Tesla is a software company. You realise Netflix pays billions each year in licensing fees and production costs for originals?
- usrusr 9y agoAlso, whenever Netflix spends money to produce content they are creating IP assets that are much closer to fungibility than any IP most software companies ever create. A bank will be much more willing to consider the rights to the House of Cards remake as a collateral than your awesome build configurations, an in-house web framework or even the entirety of the Oracle RDBMS sources.
