Facebook being in "competition" with Netflix is a bit of a stretch. We're talking Warner's infrastructure serving Warner's IP using Facebook's payment platform.

You might as well say Facebook is competing with EA with games like FarmVille.

If it's not streaming, it isn't competing with Netflix.

I have to assume they're competing with Apple's claim of 100-200 million "iTunes-linked credit cards." Since we've seen that Apple's monopoly isn't in volume, but in customers willing to pay, Facebook's consumer-used credit system is the most logical partner.
