At Cannes And Amid Controversy, Netflix Defends Its Strategy

Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer: "Why would we want to hold back a movie for an enormous number of people to enjoy throughout the entire country that a few hundred, maybe a few thousand people could see the film in Paris? ... It seemed to me like the right thing to do was to give the people, our subscribers, who pay to make these movies, access to them immediately all over the world."
