The movie release windows complicates a lot of things for the possible tie-up between Netflix and Tivo. Starz, for example, already has long-term exclusive rights for electronic delivery of film libraries from Disney, Sony’s Revolution and for half the first-run library of Universal, as well as electronic distribution rights to movies from a handful of independent studios. HBO and Showtime have equally exclusive electronic deals with other studios.
In many case, these rights stretch to 2010.
