What is a Netflix moment?


Although Netflix Inc.'s online-only show, "House of Cards," didn't take the Emmy for drama series, "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan tells Variety, "this was still a Netflix moment."

Gilligan credits on demand streaming video with keeping "Breaking Bad" on the air.

This isn't to say that Netflix Inc. didn't have its own Netflix moment -- The Wall Street Journal reports that "House of Cards" made history when director David Fincher won an Emmy for best directing in a drama series.

What about a Spotify moment?

Could Spotify ever command similar praise -- a Spotify moment? Spotify is after all an on demand streaming service.

Spotify is under fire over playlists generated by its users. Ministry of Sound claims that Spotify refuses to remove playlists mirroring compilation albums that it sells and using Ministry of Sound's name. The company's chief executive Lohan Presencer tells The Guardian, "It is not appropriate for someone to just cut and paste them."
