No that's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that one of the "costumers" could actually be someone paid by a publisher to look for copyright violations, when you have a customer base of nearly 5 million like NetFlix does you have to assume that at least of few of them might be looking for you to step out of line.

You are blustering right past me. I'm saying what the customer had a right to expect given their advertising. They come up with the movies. They worry about how. Why did you think an attorney stands to get a gazillion dollars from them for not making it clear they work like a library not a newspaper.

You said they should just print copies, I said that would be stupid of them because it's illegal and they'd get busted. A lawyer doesn't stand a chance of making any money because they work like a library not a newspaper because they make it clear in the terms of service that they work like a library. Explicitly outlining that they have a limited number of copies of every movie and depending on what you select you might or might not get it immediately, and now they even describe the throttling in the terms.
