It's going to get messy, just like software distribution.
Everyone is going to want to be the one distributing the movies/shows and getting all the pie. The problem is most of them will be shitty, they won't have good libraries, and the fees for every service will force consumers into hard choices for content.
So you might be saying "I'm not willing to pay double that price, but I could go as high as 50% more", but what are you paying when Netflix moves to $10, but you're also paying for HBO for GoT and Starz for Evil Dead and Paramount because they have exclusive rights to Star Trek TV shows and movies, etc., etc., etc.
Hell, if case nobody has noticed Steam is now distributing movies.

The further down that road they go, the bigger Pirate Bay will get.

I'm not worried.

I'd pay $25 a month to Netflix if they were the sole content provider for all studios' films and TV shows. Maybe more.
Definitely more if the shows were updated constantly with the new stuff and not a year after airing. Because then cable would be irrelevant.

Yeah, but being the sole content provider means you end up sucking. So I don't know what the solution is. Netflix needs to be declared a utility?Leisher wrote:I'd pay $25 a month to Netflix if they were the sole content provider for all studios' films and TV shows. Maybe more.

Don't give them ideas.

Epix takes their movies to Hulu after Netflix deal ends.
The disturbing part is that Netflix just let the deal end. They didn't bother renewing. Could be that Epix wanted too much, ala Starz?
However, Netflix has the Disney catalog coming in 2016 and that's all Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar, so...

Fuck every one of those movies.

Prices going up.
$9.99 for new customers right now. Existing customers will still be at $8.99 for a bit.
The $1 doesn't phase me even slightly. Especially, with the new content they give us, and the Disney/Marvel/Star Wars catalog coming online in 2016.

Netflix is no dummy.

From an Imgur poster, so I don't know how legit it is, but it seems like it'd be a good tool.
I recently stumbled over a post with the top 10 blahblah on netflix.
And the comments section was full of people not being able to watch the movies mentioned in the post because of region-locked content. Most fixes was to either download the movie via torrent or use a vpn/proxy to connect to the Netflix-region that offered that specific movie.

Comcast is adding a data cap.
Of note is that Comcast's streaming service doesn't count against your total...Netflix does...
And 300GB? WTF kind of cap is that? My local provider has me on a cap, but it's 1 TB and I've come up against it once. It used to be 500GB and we blew through it every month.

It's a pretty good Netflix original series. Kevin Spacey with that southern drawl, ya'll.

On the other hand, I really liked the 4 part series "Cooked" - it owns and you will like it.
I also liked Netflix original series "Flaked" with Will Arnett, and Amazon's Man in the High Castle and Mad Dogs.

From hereMarvel/Netflix sked: Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders THEN 2nd and 3rd seasons of the other shows and Punisher.

Netflix is attacking data caps.
Hooray for Netflix!
You know who should join their cause? Every media outlet that wants to sell streaming. Hulu, HBO, Showtime, CBS, and the list goes on forever...

Re: Netflix
I understand usage caps. I can see why businesses should be allowed to have them.
