Ideally exclusivity should be banned - consumers would then have a real choice. In the current situation increased competition actually works against the consumer by increasing costs and forcing them to sign up to multiple packages - as we have already seen with sports rights.
Netflix have obviously done what they needed to do legally, and don't want to upset users by being over picky. However that could very easily change if content providers wake up to this and lean on them. And in this case it is clearly the users not Netflix who may be breaking the law.

Out of interest, any opinion on region 1 DVDs imported and played on hacked UK DVD players to make them multi-region? All my region free DVD players were bought pre hacked from reputable suppliers.
