Netflix loses big-name movies, promises better exclusive content

Since they aren't lowering the price to adjust for less value in their service, what's the get-well plan for how to convince people that losing (guessing) 30% or so of the catalog is worth the same amount each month? Promise of more original shows is great, but that's a future plan and not something they can air right away, so...?

Netflix will be taking over pay tv rights to Disney films from Starz starting in 2016. One supplier of recent films is getting replaced by another.

Netflix has probably reached the zenith of its corporate success - they made content streaming into a mainstream business and profited hugely from it when they were the only kids on the original-content block, but as more and more big companies jump into the pool I doubt they have the ability to innovate well enough not to drastically lose market share in the next three years.

The rumor mill has all six Star Wars movies coming to Netflix streaming.

Streaming? God intended those movies to be only seen on BetaMAX, and you're a heathen if you say otherwise.

RCA's CED was way better than BetaMAX on playback, having a bona fide stylus providing the same sort of high fidelity and clarity as phonographs records.

Um... that says in Latin America.
