Tiff over rights for old seasons of the popular show Homeland

It was interesting to read this article after last week's guest speaker and the discussion around rights for the shows. How this has evolved especially in this age of streaming and instant viewing. 

Homeland is such a popular show and it's also interesting to note how the various parties in this transaction react and make statements. Netflix has told studios it will discount fees for streaming reruns by about 30% if TV networks make full seasons available on-demand.
