While I agree that Netflix has handled this horribly, I can't believe this outrage felt by people. Starbucks raises coffee prices all the time based on raw goods cost increase. So do all other companies. In this case, the raw goods owners - starz held Netflix ransom and in fact made it obvious to Netflix that as a distributor, it can have only so much bargaining power. More studios will follow. Netflix had NO CHOICE but to separate out the businesses and get more people into streaming, paying more etc so that it can deliver adequate content.
