This could be fixed legislatively IMO, and should.

If you offer a show for X per view then you have to offer it to all aggregators for that cost.

Tell me the massive holes in that?

As I see it that satisfies the copyright deal, rewards creators and makes works available. Add a 20 year copyright term and I might even be happy!

I'm not sure about other companies, but Netflix doesn't pay per stream. If you license your movie to them you never find out how many people watched it.
