Can anyone back up his claim that Netflix is paying the studios based on subscribers? This seems really unlikely. Surely they are tracking watches and paying a fee based on that. I am pretty sure this is how streaming music services work.
- bgentry 15y agoAFAIK streaming music works that way because congress has passed a law specifying what streaming music royalties are supposed to be. There is no such law sounds movies
- sp332 15y agoI don't think that's true in this case. It looks like Netflix negotiated a very low, flat license fee, with the condition that not too many people were going to have access to the videos. Once the number went above a certain point, a new kind of contract had to be drawn up to track the number of viewers and pay more.
