I'm not sure that's true. It would be a bit like saying that when a book is sold in a bookshop all the money goes to the publisher and the bookseller gets nothing. I'm certain if such a deal was to be in place VM would get a nice slice of the money we subscribers pay. I take you point about any Lovefilm/Netflix deal detracting from VM's own on-demand offering. That sounds like it might be the real reason any such deal is taking so long.
