Netflix is a 'user' of the internet, as any other.

The web is open - those who want to share their content freely can do that - those who want to DRM, they can do that.

The 'march of economics' is usually just the 'march of reality'. Game of Thrones is expensive to make - ultimately, people have to get paid for it somehow.

Most creative/entertainment projects are a dud. Only a few even make money.
