The perception of studios having the balance of power is as damaging as the reality would be.
I don't own a tv. This is true of a growing section of the people I know. A majority of people I've asked consume greater than 75% of their Hollywood content through a steaming service. You have won that battle.
Today Hollywood's major leverage is not pulling content from the web (it simply can't) but from competing services. Netflix and Amazon recognise this which is why they are trying to become content producers.
