Sounds more like networks and studios are just being more greedy. Netflix with it's huge customer base and decent cash reserves should be able to keep them in check. I never liked Pachter and he is usually wrong. So I highly doubt Netflix is doomed. The way Netflix handles their customer service and the set up of their sites means I will never switch to Amazon or Google. Netflix has a vast advantage and a very well designed system.
Pachter being doomed sounds a lot more reasonable.

i don't know ... content will go to the highest bidder and apple, google, amazon, MS, sony are all trying to get a peice of the pie. if the cost of content ends up being netflix's entire revenue they won't be able to afford it. i don't really make very good use of the discs anymore but i love the streaming content. if they continue to loose content i won't think twice about canceling my subscription. i've already losted about half of what i wanted to watch.

Yea, I guess time will tell. I love Netflix and hope they can continue to provide the quality of service they have in the past. Most of my queue is filled with documentaries, Fox cartoons (Family Guy, King of the Hill, American Dad), Nova programs, and History Channel shows. I knew about Dexter and other Showtime shows being pulled sometime in the summer so I went ahead and watched all the Dexter (1 & 2) on instant and now I am on season 4 of the discs. For about 10 dollars a month with 1 disc out option I get my money's worth each month. The more competition the better. However, the networks and movie studios shouldn't price their content x10 just because the other competition has deeper pockets.
