Yes, but they probably get a pittance per Netflix subscriber compared to cable. In their minds they're probably asking themselves why would anyone pay $15/mo for the Starz cable broadcast when they could pay $8 for Starz on demand via Netflix? The fact is Netflix needs Starz more than Starz needs Netflix. The Starz content dramatically improved the streaming library, and Starz obviously feels like it's at the expense of their cable market.
Maybe they are right. Maybe they are wrong. My opinion is that they have the stronger position. I think Starz content will be back on Netflix when either the timing is better for them or the get better terms from Netflix.
