holiday gift for netflix and facebook but what about its consumers this of course comes as congress is in negotiations to prevent the country from falling over the fiscal cliff another interesting aspect congress cut a provision that would have forced law enforcement to get a search warrant to look at e-mails for more we're joined by human chew need gum in our l.a. studio hello there you so i always want to ask you does this bill only let facebook users share what they've been watching on netflix or are there other provisions how far does this go. well liz i have to say that if you look back on the video privacy protection act which actually was passed twenty five years ago and it was passed specifically because there was concern that the media or others might get ahold of maybe porn you're watching or other salacious videos when you went into your local blockbuster and now if you look at it times have really changed and people are saying what do you mean i can't share what i'm watching on my photo stream on our on my sharing stream on on facebook the reality is you can share if you

all right sell a good deal there for the marketing side obviously netflix who is going to benefit from this but what about the consumers what about the average citizen and how will it impact them well interestingly the reason we should we should say for your viewers around the world netflix and facebook have already been able to do this and this was a law that was in the us preventing them from do it from doing it from a consumer perspective however you have to upton and not just opt in the companies have to provide you clear and conspicuous which is the language they're using clear and conspicuous method of saying to you hey do you want to share what you are watching all the time in this particular video that you just watch and make a very interactive from a consumer perspective and i think the real story here is not so much as is there a change in privacy going on but the fact that this bill requires an opt in versus what traditionally bills have been doing in congress that are coming out which is opt out so there's a definite shift that we should as as. consumers in those businesses

take a look at netflix. the stock catching fire today after getting a deal for exclusive streaming rights to disney movies. the deal does not kick in until after 2016, but investors are loving it today. how much of a game changer is it for netflix? porter, your take on this. is this justified, this move in the stock? >> reid hastings, netflix ceo, is pulling himself back from the brink with this move, maria. it's absolutely a show stopper. >> okay. so why is it so important for netflix? >> well, they've pretty much exhausted the growth potential in the u.s. their growth is coming from other countries. right now they're operating, believe it or not, in 51 countries outside the u.s. they have about 30 million paying subscribers. they don't have enough content. the content that they've just acquired the rights to through disney is a real show stopper. it puts them miles ahead of the competition. amazon, hbo go, hulu, which disney owns a part of. >> julia, what's your take on this? >> the interesting thing, mari

how much is netflix paying? sources tell me disney is definitely going to get more money from netflix than the starz deal. there is no official number on how much netflix is paying and it is complicated by the fact that it is three different deals, new movies in 2013, direct films and disney's catalog. analysts are bullish on the impact for netflix. morgan stanley saying the deal is a key endorsement from disney. could prompt other major studios to follow suit. the real loser here looks like starz. its deal with disney exspires. this makes starz look worst. now, one thing to keep an eye on is the fact that both disney cfo and netflix's head of content are speaking at the ubs media tomorrow in new york and they will answer questions about the terms of the deal and implications. >> thanks for breaking it down for us. the deal doesn't start until 2014. does netflix hemorrhage subscribers until then. >> 2016. we are sending a stock up on something to take effect in 2016. >> netflix is one of the stocks we talked abo
