Is there any possibility of a second tier subscription level, say $20 or $25 a month that would unlock a global catalog?
How I mean is that Netflix keeps its $10 per month for the domestic catalog that it has license to, and then takes the balance to compensate on the back end the other rights holders whose content is being distributed? So if I want to see a movie that is on the Netflix catalog in Colombia, but Shomi has the rights in Canada, Netflix takes a portion of that extra subscription fee to compensate Shaw/Rogers without the end user having to do anything?
JMO, and I realize it's more complicated than that, but speaking personally, I'd pay $25 a month for the global catalog, domestic rights holders still get paid and Netflix grows as a distribution platform. All around, it seems win win win.
