Let me put it like this: I'd happily double my subscription payments (and I'm on the max tier already) if they offered the entire Babylon 5 series, just to show my support. Hell, the only reason I started using Netflix in the first place is because they had all Star Trek TV shows, including the remastered version of TNG. I also know I'm not the only one in my circle of friends who started using Netflix because of Star Trek, and who would fork extra money for some 80s/90s sci-fi shows, just to show their support.
thing is, that's the sort of thing that the original IP owners are trying to put on their own subscription services. I expect you'll end up finding them somewhere that's not Netflix. That's why Netflix is spending all this money for original content. They don't wanna be left with nothing as warner brothers, NBC universal, disney, etc all launch their own streaming services.
Yeah, I know. There's an ongoing process of balkanization of video streaming that started recently.
I just hope all those IP owners get what's coming to them for this failure to cooperate - namely, that all those HD streams get ripped and put on torrents, where people who don't have patience for this bullshit will be looking for them now.
