Studios will only agree to exclusivity deals if it pays them to do so. As more players come in, it will no longer be in their interests. |
If you say so
We'll have to agree to disagree , that scenario will never happen , a firm wouldn't pay good money if the content was available on numerous other services , the US market is far further down the line in the streaming market and yet exclusive deals are still the norm there.
