You bolded the most important sentence in the story: "And the studios are positioning themselves to demand more money in future negotiations over streaming rights, especially next year when Netflix’s deal with Starz expires." What concerns me mostly about NFLX's prospects are these costs. They've done a great job of getting streaming "out there" - via various boxes and gadgets -- and I don't see what's to stop the movie companies from doing the same thing RIAA did to XM/Sirius. At least you don't have to worry about NFLX blowing a billion dollars on Howard Stern. I guess.
