Every time I read articles about Netflix running on EC2 I really really really want to know who's winning more. Is Netflix really saving money by using ec2 vs ownership? Or is Amazon raking cash in from Netflix and Netflix is basically subsidising the build out costs for ec2?

It could be both. Just because they're paying Amazon an arm and a leg doesn't mean they have the ability or the time to do a better job for cheaper.
