They did however not leave the impression that they a) care or b) intend to fix this at some point by parsing the Tor network information properly instead of using whatever cheap&wrong hack they use now.
There is actually a service that they can use to do this parsing for them: https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py e.g. https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=128.31.0.34&p...
Now, I bet Netflix has more than one IP address. It would not be hard to adapt this service to help them do what they should be wanting to do.
See https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse#Bans for more details.
One of our next steps might be to find a useful technical contact inside Netflix, so they can start doing this advocacy and education from the inside.
