I agree that some would be upset, though.

It depends whether Netflix have been given exclusive rights, and if each deal with Netflix is separate, then there is scope to negotiate at least future releases with VM as well as Netflix.
If exclusive rights have not been given, there's no problem as far as I can see.

Not a problem
I could have made my point clearer.
I am probably wrong, I assumed that it would be exclusive because the usual case with TV rights is one company gets on-demand rights exclusively and one gets the FTA rights.
I don't know what the deal with Netflix entails and whether they have rights to all their back catalogue or some.
I will say that Netflix are usually very shrewd and I would assume they would have gotten whatever rights they have got exclusive to them.
