I was going to comment that torrent client, torrent search and VPN aren't necessarily used for piracy, and then I saw the search query.
Realistically though, these three publishers must've added “netflix” as keyword, and Flathub must've not noticed/cared. Still funny as fuck, though.
ahah great indeed. I also wanted to comment that Torrent... aren't necessary for piracy.
Also torrents can be much faster & secure than direct downloads/mirrors.
In my experience, it really depends. Like, for the Arch Linux iso it's basically the same, but for some more niche distros, there might not be many seeds so direct download from a local mirror might be faster.
