First, the actual video content itself does not, as far as I know, stream from AWS. If you watch in the web player you can see the many requests going out to Netflix's CDN. Given that the website is served up over HTTPS, Amazon doesn't actually have data as to which videos Netflix users are streaming (I believe Netflix's CDN and ISP/edge relationships are independent of AWS).
Second, even if they could, it would be an appalling breech of customer trust for Amazon to take advantage of that ability. I do not believe that sort of behavior to be within Amazon's company character (I worked there prior to joining Google).
