Yeah, Netflix screwed the pooch on this when they didn't negotiate for perpetual & time-limited exclusive / non-exclusive rights to the IP they started with. They could have thrown in some re-negotiation clauses to make people happy, but the thing is that letting someone keep a digital copy of something costs the copyright holder nothing other than the opportunity to bilk the customer out of a second purchase (which should be as illegal as selling someone a car and then making them re-buy it at a later date). Peacock had every right to put The Office on their own platform and had no need to take it down from Netflix other than knowing that without their own strong & exclusive content no one would have made the switch.
