Doesn't Hulu (et al) have an obligation to provide service to their paying

Does this obligation extend to providing service independent of the carrier

Or if Hulu choose to exclude known problem carriers (i.e. VPN providers) don't
they have an obligation to confirm that their exclusions are accurate?
Further, to correct problems if their data is shown to be inaccurate?
I have a suspicion that these folks acquired IP space that was previously
marked as part of a VPN provider, or Hulu is detecting it wrongly as VPN
provider IP space.
I was sitting on this, but what the heck.
I personally am curious as to what bug and/or feature allowed a random
WISP in Utah (or the parent-ish ISP in New Jersey) to have IP space
allocated from AfriNIC.
One might consider Hulu et al not so at-fault with that fact in
consideration.
