While I probably should have found this <\/a>in my search for sources when I wrote yesterday, I’ll chalk this one up to being rusty behind the wheel of a blog.<\/p>\n

It looks like there is a lot more going on with the titles being removed from Netflix, and oddly enough, many of the titles that I could not access yesterday (May 1st) appear to have returned.<\/p>\n

Here’s the meat of what The Verge had to say about the roughly 1800 titles that Nexflix is losing:<\/p>\n

\n

…the service will be saying farewell to 1,794 different titles in May. That number includes 15 seasons of\u00a0<\/span>South Park<\/i>, old horror movies like\u00a0<\/span>Audrey Rose<\/i>, and James Bond classics like\u00a0<\/span>Dr. No<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Goldfinger<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>According to\u00a0Slate<\/i><\/a>, the drop comes because several licensing deals Netflix has in place with studios like MGM, Warner Bros., and Universal are expiring.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it has been posited that the titles were disappearing because they were heading to the\u00a0<\/span>Warner Instant Archive streaming service<\/a>, that appears to not be the case. Warner Instant\u00a0<\/span>took to Twitter today<\/a>\u00a0to emphasize that… …it [does] not carry titles from MGM or Universal…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With that said, it looks like I’m off in search of some other minor conspiracy theory. \u00a0Good day to you.<\/p>\n
