Warner Bros. And Netflix Reach New Deal

In: web resources

7 Jan 2010

Warner Bros. said today it has reached a new agreement with Netflix to make new Warner titles on DVD and Blu-ray available to Netflix members after a 28-day window.

The move by Warner is an effort to squeeze all the potential profit it can from its new releases. Warner says under the deal Netflix will benefit by paying the studio less for new releases. The agreement also expands the license for Warner Bros. streaming content allowing Netflix to offer its members more movies they can watch instantly.

"We’ve been discussing new approaches with Warner Bros. for some time now and believe we’ve come up with a creative solution that is a ‘win-win’ all around," said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer for Netflix.

"We’re able to help an important business partner meet its objectives while improving service levels for our members by acquiring substantially more units than in the past after a relatively short sell-through window. At the same time, we’re able to extend the range of choices available to be streamed to our members."

Warner Bros. says 75 percent of new release sales occur in the first four weeks of availability. New releases from all suppliers account for about 30 percent of Netflix shipments. Look for more studios to follow Warner’s lead.

Probably "disarm" and "liberate".

for 119.00 dollars they should come to you and replace it and clean up the mess.
You can go to home depot and buy a piece of clear plexi glass and have them cut it to that size. it may cost ya about 50 dollars for that size. Then just bust out all the broken glass from the frame and use a screw driver to get the hard to get pieces. I would wear safety goggles too!! Then put the plexi glass in the window and run a beed of silicone around the window and that will hold it in place. Use duct tape to help hold in place if needed. good luck!

That is literally a million dollar question. User generated content depends on having users in the first place. Getting traffic is one thing that most sites have tremendous difficulty with. If there is no existing content there is no pull to draw users then they are not going to arrive, and if they don't do that they won't upload content. You need to create some kind of pull to attract users in the first place – some kind of content, either your own or bought in from elsewhere (with proper approvals of course).
