Exclusivity is a failure mode for copyright. Mandatory licensing should've been the immediate goal as soon as Netflix started losing content. Blatantly awful for consumers - and we're talking about giving companies money. If you sell a thing and find yourself going 'well I don't want to sell it that way' then it's probably because you have anti-competitive schemes in mind. We can't tolerate that shit.
