amazon certainly deal determine future instant networks prime studios
The future of how the networks and studios deal with Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime Instant Video is certainly going to determine their future.

The longer people watch Netflix and the longer they stay members - they're the criteria of success for us.

The real great news is, in the piracy capitals of the world, Netflix is winning. We are pushing down piracy in those markets by getting the access.

The typical output deal from a studio is 10 to 14 movies a year.

There's no such thing as 'too much TV,' unless we're all spending more and not watching more.

bigger expensive looking sell shows tv
When we started looking at the bigger television ecosystem, you see that there's not that many serialized TV shows being made for TV. The economics are lousy: They don't sell into syndication well; they're expensive to produce.
ratings
What I didn't want to do is get into a ratings race with television because really, for them, it matters. For me, it doesn't.
