While true, I have also noticed that a Netflix exclusive show (I think Making a Murderer) is going to soon become unavailable to watch on Netflix in US. Now, it could be an unrelated issue there... i.e. the show was banned or some-such, but I couldn't find anything like that mentioned anywhere. That sort of makes me confused as to how it is an exclusive to Netflix in the first place.

Some Netflix shows are just not shown in the US on Networks and often they get branded Netflix – like a lot of British Shows. I imagine the rights are worked out as timed rather than for all eternity on Netflix. If Netflix "created" the content it would be on there in perpetuity.
