I'm not familiar with the Android App submission / Quality Control process but how did this get through to the marketplace?
And how did the developer expect to get away with it?

It doesn't say it was from the market place, it says it was found on an on-line forum. I think it was a scam hoping people would want NetFlix on their Android phone when it wasn't supported yet. There have been a number of modified netflix apps doing the rounds but all have to be downloaded and installed without the market place. If you download and install stuff that you don't know the author and it's not from the market place then you take your chances and you have to accept the outcome, whatever that might be.
That's not to say that this hasn't happened through the market place in the past because it has, there was a bunch of dodgy apps on there not so long ago

@Ian2:
I don't know about this one. But, they managed to have illegal copy of Mario game in the marketplace, which both collects lots of users data and distribute copyright content illegally.
