drinking from the firehose

I'm a Netflix subscriber.  A lot of the movies I've been watching lately have been streamed directly to my laptop or TV.

Many of these movies appear to be licensed through STARZ Media on some kind of time-limited basis.  Sometimes after I add a movie to my queue, Netflix announces that that movie will only be available for instant viewing for a few more weeks.

I just noticed that of the 130 movies or so on my instant-viewing queue, about 30 will only be available until January 1.

Uh-oh.
