Disney is launching its own Netflix-style subscription VOD service next year — dubbed Disney+ — so Netflix will be losing Disney-owned content starting next year. Disney is acquiring 20th Century Fox, so expect more of Fox’s content to leave Netflix, as well. AT&T’s WarnerMedia had pegged Q4 2019 for its own broad-focused SVOD entry, so it’s also going to be pulling back its own stuff from Netflix.
So, capitalists actually are pulling their content to their own sandboxes. Why? Because it is very profitable to charge people for thing that cost you nothing and that you own already.
And it is good news - the more fragmented the market becomes, the more aware will be people about places that have content in better quality and without narrow selection of one brand only and content made only in few recent years.
Practical education is necessary first step before capitalism and copyright eradication.
