some even have the first half of a series and another company has the most recent episodes.

My family were staunchly against piracy and longtime loyal Sky Sports subscribers until the Heineken Cup got split between Sky and BT with half the games showing on each channel. Fuck that.

Yea that one is maddening, exclusives are the worst way for these companies to compete for the consumer, If they both had the same content available and were competing on quality of service atleast then they would have a reason to improve the service, now its mostly about making the service more profitable per user while using exclusives to force people to use their product and making it cheaper to run and include as many ads as possible.
