Re: Monkey Bar Marketing This isn't about the 30 day delay at all. This is about Netflix's flat rate model. Similar to songs on iTunes, the studios want a guaranteed revenue per title (say $2.50 with an MSRP of $2.99). This is why pay-per-view streaming/download services like Amazon, Xbox Live, Blockbuster, CinemaNow, iWatchFilm, etc. were easily able to negotiate licenses and have most titles available while Netflix is shut out. The studios have no experience with the flat rate model and they fear it will cut their revenue, regardless of a 30-??? day delay. |
