It seems clear, though, the current behavior of content owners would
seem saintly if compared with the scenario where they don't have
bittorrent as a competitor.<br>

Here's hoping Netflix can follow through on a massive expansion of
the content portfolio, a lot seems to depend on it.<br>
<br>
I'm sure at the levels where these decisions get made, there are
still very strong drivers for exclusivity deals. To me though, the
notion seems more and more antiquated as the IPTV landscape takes
shape.<br>

</span>I suspect they’ve launched in enough
territories that they know how this works, and by
the end of the month the library will be stepwise
expanding based on the market intel they’ve
gathered from viewer stats in the first month.<br>

It’s only early days. Anyone who thinks last
