Not sure how you even tarif movies. I guess Netflix will receive bills based on viewership?

Anyway, as usual other countries will retaliate. American movies will become both more expensive to make and taxed abroad. Meanwhile, we can expect more people will turn to piracy to cope with rising inflation. I can't imagine any scenario where this isn't backfiring.

The tariff would apply when Netflix pays for the distribution rights to a movie or TV show.

My uninformed assumption is that most licencing arrangement have per viewer component? Not just a lump sum that can be taxed once?

I don't think so. Netflix guards viewership numbers like they are nuclear secrets.
