I completely agree! I’ve been thinking about that a lot. I think not allowing exclusive licensing deals at all would be a huge win for consumers. Especially in streaming, but possibly in other areas too. I can’t think of a single reason it’s good for consumers — exclusive access to something on Netflix is ONLY good for Netflix. It’s advertised as good for me, but it’d be even better for me if other services also had it. Exclusive licensing is just a way for the entire streaming industry to avoid competition. Are Netflix and HBO really directly competing if you have to get both to watch the content you want? Sure, they’re competing for my attention with what I end up watching. But if I really want to watch something else, I’ll just get to it later. It’s not really either/or.
