It's about diversity -- better that other companies like Sony make money and thrive, than Netflix owning everything.

I'm arguing that Sony should have kept the rights and all the profits. Instead they hedged, settling for a much smaller share of the profits and letting Netflix own the IP.

Sony Pictures could have used a big hit, instead they've let Netflix have it.

I take that back -- I did work for one guy back in my CNET days who probably drank from a cup like this.
