These content library contracts are only for a couple of years, and each time one lapses, some terms get negotiated. Nobody in the streaming industry is successful because they have a long term lock on someone else’s content. It’s all about eyeballs and margins.
- aidenn0 11mo agoNetflix had a 4 year deal with Starz, which is where a significant chunk of their early streaming content came from (Including all the Disney films).
- shermantanktop 11mo agoSure, that was very early though. You could argue that was crucial for establishing their brand, but the industry has caught up and doesn't do that very much now.
