But that was the promise and hope.
Or to put it another way - myself and everybody we know would prefer if Spotify for video content existed. The proliferation of services that are removing content from Netflix so they could host it on their own crappy system and app is purely bad for me with no benefit. Just like I don't want Spotify to suddenly become Columbia+ and bmg all access and whatever million music publishers there are each with their own crappy service.

- Mindwipe 4y ago> But that was the promise and hope. There was no promise, no sign of this ever happening, and no chance of it ever doing so. There is no economic model that makes sense for it - music is licensed collectively because the economic cost of producing music doesn't vary that dramatically (and the difference has shrunk dramatically since the advent of Spotify et al). That's not true for AV, nor would it ever become so.
