Does WB have to pay the breakup fee to Netflix if a Paramount hostile takeover succeeds?
Warner bros is being divided into the cable TV stations + discover channel stations and the movie studio and the backlog is separate.
Netflix wants the movie studio + tv back catalog

Once Netflix buys all of these companies, you won't ever be able to watch a WB movie without a $25 netflix sub per month. (and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be.
I must be thte only one who like Paramount+ Honestly would rather have the Warner Bros content over there than on Netflix.
It has really strange bugs like with an hour left of a Champions League match it thought it had reached the end credits of the show and tried to automatically start showing something else. Was confusing figuring out how to tell it I wanted to really watch the "end credits" which was the last hour of the soccer contest.

(and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be. That's kind of a silly argument.

I brought popcorn, who are we rooting for?
The best outcome would be for all of the bids to fail, all the streaming services would bleed money due to people sick of the siloing, and for there to be multiple streaming services competing on experience because they all have access to the same catalog. The second best outcome would be the cartoon villain Larry not getting what he wants.
That's a weird way to write "and for us to go back to owning copies of movies instead of just renting them."
For a large enough "donation" the current administration will approve any merger.

This has nothing to do with the Netflix bid. Warner bros is being divided into the cable TV stations + discover channel stations and the movie studio and the backlog is separate. Netflix wants the movie studio + tv back catalog

They tilt like everyone else - maybe the chaos and mayhem behind the last few years of this industry mean the old guard is finally failing, and we'll see meaningful copyright reform and sanity in our lifetime.
> we'll see meaningful copyright reform and sanity in our lifetime. I think there is a better chance of the state collapsing than there is of seeing meaningful IP reform
