Netflix password sharing

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Netflix should take it one step further and if the scan indicates that someone not in your Netflix approved household is watching a movie with you, the police should be allowed to do a warrant less no knock raid of your house.

Any soldiers using their friends or parents account should be dishonorably discharged and put in Ft. Leavenworth - one year for each episode or movie streamed.

The issue isn’t how many eyeballs are in front of the legal stream. The issue is the sharing of the password with users outside of the household.

Are you telling me you would knowingly let someone NOT in your Netflix approved household watch a movie with you when they are perfectly capable of paying for it themselves?

No wonder Netflix prices are going up!

Maybe they’ve been hemorrhaging subs because there are so many cheaters not paying for their own streams.

Actually I wouldn’t call it hemorrhaging just yet. More like the growth has peaked. The subscriber count hasn’t fallen by 35% like the share price has today.

It's projected to continue to fall (which is really why the stock is falling)

Legitimately, the only difference in the two scenarios is the distance those people are. In either scenario, you are watching content that you would not otherwise have access to, unless you had your own account.

I think that I said the opposite. Obviously if the video is being viewed under the roof of the subscriber’s residence then those watching it are legal. Those living in that household have been allowed to view on their devices when away from the residence. That portability has been abused and now Netflix is addressing the issue. I would think that they have the technology to sell access by registering each device or IP address. Some will struggle to switch as devices are replaced.

The thieves are to blame for any coming disruption to the honest subscribers. Not Netflix.

I’m reporting you to Netflix for letting people not in your approved household view Netflix content.

Hopefully thieve enablers like you will learn a lesson.

The rest of your post is an ignorant made up narrative full of insults. Yes. You ARE making stuff up.

What insult? That saying there is a "fair" price for things is meaningless babble? It literally is meaningless babble- the "fair" price is what you're willing to pay, so if you're paying it, it's "fair".

It's also not an insult to say you've got clouded judgment, which is very clear here.

I shared examples that are easily searchable from the CBO and from other real-life, similar situations. There's no "made up" stuff here. There's a basic understanding of markets and economics.

Illegal is illegal! Let's see these scumbag parents share their password serving 10-20. Doubt they pay for that monthly fee out of their commissary allowance.

If you're on a business trip, you should pay up for the house porn like God fearing Americans!

I’m not a Netflix subscriber or a direct shareholder. And that’s not at all what I said. Letting people view a legal feed inside the subscriber’s home isn’t an issue. Allowing non-members of the household to use the access credentials somewhere other than that residence is when the theft occurs.

Save it for the judge. Netflix if going to recoup every dime of every second you let someone not in your household watch your Netflix account.

I don’t have clouded judgement here. I understand what theft is.

Easily searchable, yet you failed to support your stuff with anything other than your opinion.

Read the user agreement. I’m sure that it addresses which viewers are legal and those visiting your home fit the bill. The kids living in the dorm or the brother-in-law living somewhere else aren’t going to be part of the household. And before you ask, while traveling for business, the prostitute in the hotel room is permitted to watch the subscriber’s iPad.

I guess you called Netflix and made sure

It’s common sense and I just posted that I am not a Netflix subscriber.

The service is being paid for. I pay for multiple users. Doesn’t matter where they’re using it. They micromanage me and they lose the money I’m paying. Then THEY’RE “stealing” from themselves.

 

[Vol423]

It’s common sense and it’s made them billions. Kill the golden goose and let technicalities keep them warm.

The Golden Goose is people stealing services (allowing others to use their account for free)? That reminds me of a guy that once told me that he had leverage over his landlord in negotiations for a lease renewal because the guy hadn't made a lease payment in months.

 

[Vol423]

Exactly this. You pay for the product, it's yours to use as you see fit.

If they want to put a one-profile limit on there, tell people each account is for one user, and had started cracking down from the beginning it's one thing. Instead, they openly encouraged people to have multiple profiles and let this "theft" go for years. Clearly they did not see it this way, so it's rich that people are trying to go to bat for a billion-dollar-plus corporation that's never had a problem with it until they start going bust for contributing to the cultural ruination of their own markets.

Wrong. There are terms in the contract that he signed, and he's breaking those terms.

Ask any lawyer whether clauses in contracts that aren't enforced end up standing, then come back and tell me how wrong I am.

I've never missed a payment but one time they did a pre-approval before my due date, and since I had just received a new debit card and hadn't updated my payment information...they cut me off. So your landlord analogy fails. Micromanage me and you lose my business. MY terms.

When your daughter is living in your house, she is a member of your household. When she lives somewhere else, she isn’t. Allowing her to use the account while living in a dorm is stealing from Netflix.

Then I can certainly see why this is so important to you.

 

[Vol423]

First, you're making a significant and relatively ignorant leap that the ones "stealing" are interested in paying for the service at all.

They're ZERO percent chance of them subscribing while they're stealing the stream for free.
