Netflix paid just $28 million per year for their current contract and according to LAT, was willing to pay $300 million per year to renew.

I pretty much watch only Natgeo documentaries and stuff like that on Netflix streaming. Not sure this is any big deal. I know people who subscribe only to DVD's from Netflix, copy them and store them on their hard drives and watch at their convenience. Starz, Sony get to greedy and your most honest individual will turn to piracy to save $$'s.

Unless you are stealing Dish Network, you are paying for Starz.
Personally I don't mind Starz leaving netflix that much...only 1-2 titles of all their movies were worth watching, and I already watched them. Actually, loss of bad content is a good thing in my view. Netflix has a terrible recommendation system. They have a star system that estimates what you will rate a movie, and it is actually pretty accurate most of the time. The only problem is that it is not used. The front page of, "watch now" is nothing but a bunch of movies that they don't think I will like (all estimating 1-2 stars)...most of these are Starz and Disney. I guess the loss of Starz probably just means there will be more Disney movies on this page, but there is now a slim possibility that one day there will be some movie on the, "You might like" page that I might actually like, and that I have not already watched and given stars to.
