Could you re-phrase this somehow? I'm not sure if you are talking about companies in general or Netflix.

Edit: I rather ask than make an assumption. Thanks for the confirmation.

From the second to second-last line, they're referring to shady practices in general. In their last, they're arguing that delivering lower-quality streams to Linux-based user agents is comparatively benign.

Not sure I agree, FWIW.

Strongly assume parent was referring to all those things that are done at other companies... vs the 720p issue at Netflix.

On the other hand, if Netflix has managed to reimplement the NSA's dragnet internally, I'm going to be really impressed by their engineers' productivity.
