On: Do you need a VPN?

[confounded]

You have an awful lot of certainty about the positions of both parties in these contract negotiations. It seems more likely to me that Netflix would simply have to pay more. I’m sure Netflix could pay less in exchange for the IP and email addresses of people watching in real-time, too, but that doesn’t mean it’s either inevitable or desirable.

I imagine that Netflix as a distribution platform may wield more power than you imagine.

I guess we'll agree to disagree. I'm pretty sure we can safely say that neither of us was privy to the contract negotiations between Netflix and studios. :)
