From its start as a DVD-by-mail rental service, Netflix has systematically changed the rules of the media business. Its introduction of streaming in 2007 led to the decline of the video rental store and dramatically increased the use of broadband internet. Starting in 2013, its introduction of its own programming, challenged the traditional ways viewers watched TV. Now its original movies are upending the operations of Hollywood studios. With an ever increasing budget of over $15 billion per year, service to 190 countries and 150 million subscribers, Netflix is primed to become the dominant source of leisure time entertainment throughout the world. This program was made possible by funds from the Union County Office of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
