Netflix already pays for the internet connectivity and bandwidth their servers require. This is how the internet works - everyone pays their own way to get on board.

Saying that netflix needs to take financial or technical responsibility for end-user traffic is like saying Panasonic should take responsibility for the huge power draw on Enmax's network that their plasma TV's are causing.
