Presumably Netflix are using a wider system to choose which movies to licence? I wonder what their process for adding movies is - do they have a list from each studio they work with and select a movie to add, out do the negotiated each one separately.

Seems they could have a not yet available category that would let people pre-order; they could recommend a far wider swathe of content then.

It's been reported they use piracy sites to gauge popularity. They probably have other deciders too, this one's the most interesting though.
