I don’t think Netflix has any quality guarantees. So you’re SOL if you think there is some kind of legal recourse. 
I’d argue that 50% pay for 50% quality is illogical anyway. HD is 25% the quality of 4K. Yet you get virtually all of 
the value of the content, with only a sight reduction in detail. 

Personally, I don’t think now is the time to quibble about ethereal costs. We all need to roll up our sleeves, put 
our big boy pants on, and get the planet through this crisis.

As I said on another list yesterday:

Overall, we've spent 3 decades building this global Internet. Time to
see if the child can stand on its own two webbed feet :-).
