It seems like Netflix is still able to land exclusive content deals for past seasons of popular shows by offering slightly more than their competitors. Even the most tight-fisted producer/distributor will take Netflix's money over no money.

Unfortunately for Netflix, there aren't too many independent production studios left that aren't owned by distributors with existing contracts. Netflix needs to offer a better deal to the producers of the next hit show than they can get from a broadcast network.
