No one really wants a middle man to be making a lot of money off of them. They might tolerate it for some time, but if they ever have an option to do so they are either going to cut out the middle man (sell directly to consumers) or commoditize the middle man (lots of places to get the same content all making only a very small markup). A company with the potential investment capital of Disney or Comcast will almost certainly be able to manage one of those sooner or later. There is no path to long term profitability for Netflix just through reselling content from a few huge media conglomerates.
