The problem playing out now is that the studios don't consider you or me to be their customer. Their customers are Walmart, Blockbuster, and cable companies. (Things get trickier when you have "Cabletown" situations, where content providers merge with content delivery.)
Right now, Netflix exists at the pleasure of the studios. I liken it to early cable: Cheap, ad free, accessible, and not long for this world.
