Yeah but this guy stole Netflix's IP when he made the VHS in the first place...

My understanding is: The author is a VHS electronics enthusiast and had published photos of unmarked VHS cassettes [1]. Some designer photoshopped them to add the "Stranger Things" graphics and Netflix used the photoshopped images without attribution. Author's photographs are literally the first hits in a google search for "VHS cassette". Author did not create a VHS version of the TV program.

I'm not sure I understand the point of your comment. Could you expound?
