I had my doubts, too: it seemed like a very strange way to "leak" the response, and the wording and phrasing weren't perfect. ARS seems to have called a spokesperson who didn't deny it, though: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/netflix-refuses-to-comply-with-verizons-cease-and-desist-demands/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/netflix-refuses-t... Or at least ARS has a spokesperson saying the "letter speaks for itself," which suggests authenticity.
