Why would they be happy to see other content providers cashing in when that income could go to them?
We know already that you can see non first run HBO shows by other means by PPV (eg via Blinkbox) and perhaps it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that we will be able to get those shows also through Amazon First, and maybe even on subscription. Not as good as getting the first run stuff free on Sky Atlantic, but much better than we have now.

what I meant is they keep it them themselves rather than take the extra money from other providers for SA if they wanted the money they would have made SA available long ago they wont it will only ever be on sky and now tv
