Its going to be interesting to see if the Starz deal is going to affect this at all. Anecdotal, but I cancelled my subscription a few months ago after being disappointed with the availability of streaming titles as it was, I cant imagine what itll be like with a further diminished streaming library.
Its a shame that content owners and distributors havent been able to work out a deal. There is money to be made every time someone pirates a movie because there is literally no way for them to pay for it. I wonder if it would be possible for Netflix or Hulu to sustain libraries like that without moving the price past traditional cable services.
- joshuamerrill 15y agoYeah, I tend to agree. I personally find that 90%+ of the movie content on Netflix is not worth watching (the TV show selection, however, is great). If Netflix continues growing, I could see a scenario much like the iTunes Music Store vis-a-vis the record labels, where a dominant distributor can essentially dictate terms to content providers.
