1. I think I would have ruled differently.

Not that Netflix should have to caption all content they provide, but that they should have to caption all ORIGINAL content they provide. Ie, that the responsibility to provide captions rests with the creator of content, not distributors. Otherwise you could sue Blockbuster (if they still existed) or Redbox, or any other distributor if they rented out content the creators hadn't captioned.
