From a network operational perspective we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. There are vast hordes of lawyers and MBA types employed by the largest content creators (TV channels, movie studios) which negotiate agreements with Netflix and similar services.
Unless you happen to be a sysadmin inside one of these entities with access to the contracts and documents, all of this is totally opaque from a network engineering viewpoint. I do not think the contractual requirement to *attempt* to block VPN traffic will change until a significantly larger percentage of US customers abandon paying for their cable TV & satellite TV monthly packages.

I just don't think that this is an appropriate venue to discuss the value of their business model as that's something their business needs to work on changing internally, and fighting it (at least for the moment) will only land Netflix in court.
