Netflix password sharing

[butchna]

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.

My family my household my terms. I pay them.

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.

Where's the opinion?

You're the one arguing that everyone that gets cut off will go out and buy a subscription, which is laughable. And, again, apparently you don't grasp the fundamental economic/market information I also shared.

If you think you're paying "more than your fair share", why are you paying? Clearly the value of the product still is either at or below what you think a reasonable price for it is, so what base do you stand on saying it is "unfair"? If it was "unfair", you'd stop paying, or else you're some kind of weirdo that's acting outside of his own interest.

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

It is annoying that so many are stealing and believe that they are entitled to continue doing so.

My family my household my terms. I pay them.

The terms are in Netflix’s user agreement. You can’t decide to give access to every other house on the block. Paying a little doesn’t grant permission to steal a lot more.

He’s a martyr for keeping Netflix prices from sky rocketing

I pay top dollar every month. If that annoys you, tough ****.

The level of mental gymnastics that some of you will go through to justify theft is truly amazing.

I’m not sure that I’ve said “unfair” at all. I’ve certainly not said that “everyone that gets cut off will go out and buy a subscription”. You are making **** up and not supporting your weak arguments by citing sources. There’s the “opinion”.

I guess. It's very odd.

Not only CAN I...I do. To my family, no one else. Maybe your own exaggerated extrapolation is what has you all worked up. Nobody in Hoboken or Anchorage or NEXT DOOR is using my account. Merely myself, my wife and our daughters. And Netflix is amply remunerated for the service.

You are paying for some of it and apparently enabling the theft of Netflix’s service as well.

Did you not say that "the honest users end up paying more than their fair share"? What is the opposite of fair? Is it not unfair? Are you not implying that people paying "more than their fair share" are being treated unfairly?

Did you not say "Those stealing aren’t counted in the subscriber base, but they would be counted if they had their own accounts instead of stealing their stream."? Does this not operate under the assumption that each of those people would, if cut off, go and buy their own account, adding them to subscriber numbers?

I'm not making a single thing up. These are your words, directly copied and pasted into this post. There's no weak argument, there's a market and economics discussion that I guess you aren't capable of following.

No partial payments...I'd get cut off. Full amount for extra users.

Exactly. But a few are just ignorant and entitled with no clue that they have been stealing.

And the moment the price goes too high or you feel like you are treated unfairly you will quit the service, yes?

What does entitled even mean in this instance?

You can’t post without lying and insulting.

Everyone?

Thieves who pay out the top amount for the service they're "stealing", wouldn't stay solvent very long. Bad business model.

Those who have bank accounts who pay for a service? Hellasense!

You quite literally just posted that I am "making **** up" for my "weak" arguments. I'm not trying to argue. I'm pointing out market factors and fundamental points of market pricing. Plus I asked you direct questions there. Please respond to them- if you can't, and if you can't even recall what you've posted not two pages back, then does that not mean that it's actually you with no argument? I'm sorry you view someone making a mockery of your point as insulting. I'd advise, that if you find Netflix pricing to be unfair, you use your market power and cease paying it if you are.

The SECOND they try to micromanage me and deny me the full value of what I'm PAYING? Yeah.

Family and household are different things. If your daughters don’t live in your house and are using your user credentials, then your family is stealing from Netflix. But I guess it’s okay since they have $30 billion of revenue. I’m going to go fill up my tank at Exxon and not pay for it - they also have billions in sales.

LOL. Nice - an arrogant thief.

They're my immediate family, they're my household. I don't share with parents, grandparents, cousins or friends. If that was the hill you keep humping, I wouldn't disagree...but it ain't! Actually pilfering gasoline is an option I highly encourage for you. When you explain that you were simply trying to win an argument on a message board, you should be ok.

You bury your questions in with your insults and other nonsense. I’m not going to dig them out of that mess.

I’m not addressing the economics. My point has been that sharing passwords is theft and that strikes a nerve with many in here.

I did point out that tax evaders are causing the honest filers to pay more than their fair share. Netflix customers are different from taxpayers in that respect. They have they option of paying zero.
