It is the streaming rights
The costs have been steadily jacked up as Netflix started to grow as the distributors believe they have Netflix over a barrel. It was this that caused the overnight doubling of a Netflix subscription and the subsequent split between streaming and DVD delivery. Since then, the streaming catalog has been shrinking evermore, hence the predictions of doom.
If it was up to the distributors, they'd do the same thing to the DVD branch but that one is protected under the laws introduced to allow VHS rentals.
(We opted for the DVD branch following the initial hold-up. It doesn't have that instant gratification thing going for it, but the catalog is near bottomless.)
