I’m not sure how long they get to keep their back catalog. Has anything been licensed indefinitely?

Their business is certainly going to only continue to increase in competitiveness for the foreseeable future. My primary concern, from Netflix’s view, would be Amazon being comfortable buying video content at a loss forever.

At a minimum, they have their original series^1. I would assume that, as part of paying for the various shows to be created, Netflix has rights forever.

That's a fair point, but what happens if the various big studios decide to pull their content like Disney has stated they will and create their own Netflix? They just launched Movies Anywhere, so it seems like they're willing to partner up if they need to protect their businesses.

And at that point, Netflix would be indie content and a few real good Netflix shows. Don't know if people would shell out $10 per month essentially for the Netflix shows unless they can churn out high quality ones quicker.
