This almost seems like a bit of a PR thing to show that Netflix does't directly support proxies and such, and are just saying they are taking measures to prevent it, without actually acting on it (or at least very weak measures). We all know they actually love it internally, because it provides more value to their customers, and they want everyone to be cord cutters. But didn't they release almost the exact same statement a couple years ago saying they were cracking down? And not sure much has happened since. It just seems like they'll release statements like this occasionally to please the execs at studios.

EDIT: remembered it wrong, this was the article I was thinking of from last year:

Netflix denied it, but still makes me wonder.
