Pay-Per-View Embeddable Video
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that for my $17 I pay to NetFlix every month to keep three movies at home I also get 17 hours of viewing time of NetFlix online movies a month included. It's nice. I watch on my laptop. This morning I was watching a film about comedy and I wanted to share it... wanted to embed it on the blog like I migth a YouTube clip. Of course I can't unless I were to outright steal the material.
Idea: allow emdebeddable video on a PPV basis. It gets content closer to it's audience via an open, organic distribution mechanism. It maintains copyright. And it increases revenue.
It's a great idea, and logical progression, but what it spells for NetFlix is a total change in their revenue model and customer offerings.
For a fuller exploration of this concept, ready my post
