Just read word that Netflix is going to start offering original programming in the same vain as HBO and Showtime have done. This has caused Showtime to announce it will soon remove its programming from Netflix streaming. I don't quite get Showtime's decision here. By being on Netflix, this can only increase their subscription base. People find out about the show's through Netflix and then potentially sign up for Showtime. I think a bad move for Showtime as Netflix grow's substantially in its user base. In regards to Netflix's decision, this is genius. They will eventually be a one stop shop for all things tv and movies as long as studios and networks don't pull a Showtime.
