Netflix account sharing to be banned
https://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/netfli...s-who-20664135
Those found guilty will either be forced to pay more money or have the account removed permanently |
How greedy. Netflix should not be pushing their luck when everyone and their mother are bringing out streaming services. Netflix's position is not set in stone.
|
how annoying
|
How petty. Crap like this pushes people to piracy.
|
This is about as achievable as the BBC preventing people from watching iPlayer without tv licenses. Doubt anything will change.

This won't work though.
How do you get around people watching on the go? On laptops when travelling around and moving house etc? |
this is ridiculous :skull:
|
I thought that was the whole point of having multi screen. Why would I be watching something on 6 different screens at once?

Why would anyone want to pay for others to use it anyway?

Hmmm that's quite greedy of Netflix, people pay for the service and have always allowed a certain amount of users on one account so why now get greedy and want to charge for them :think:
I pay my account and some of my family members use it. |

Nothing illegal about it. Your preaching is embarrassing. |
I'm sure you will be able to use the same account on a certain number of devices in a house?

I don't think this is actually anything they can enforce tbqh |
If I want to pay for my Mum and brother to use it why wouldn't I lol? They allow more than one profile. I let anybody use it if we are close (I took Ant off after he broke my heart mind x)
|
So I won't be able to watch on the living room if it was on my bedroom TV?

Netflix packages are designed for multiple people to use so let's not use this story as an excuse to sit on your high horse acting like the sole voice of reason and morality when, like Marsh has said, you just want an excuse to judge people. That's not very moral at all... |
...although there are some Netflix exclusives, I would find it quite easy to live a life without Netflix...I do find it a little over-rated...

Swear this comes up every few months and Everytime it's turned out to be bull****

It's one account per household so they definitely can track it (or at least suspect it) if there's regularly more than one person on the account from wildly different locations, for example, my father in law used our Netflix account for a while when he was deciding whether or not he wanted it, and they live over 250 miles from us. He eventually got his own account anyway (as part of the fairly recent Sky package deal, I think) but... that would have been fairly easy to identify as multi-account-use.
If everyone using it lives fairly close together (i.e. same town) it'll be impossible to enforce, as there's no way to prove that the IP addresses logged aren't legitimate locations for the household members. |
I do think it's a terrible plan though, especially as they have a tonne of competition entering the market in the next few years? It won't encourage most of the people account sharing to get their own account... it'll just result in more people torrenting/illegitimately streaming instead.
|
they are only going to lose the customers that are not currently paying, so i'm all for it. The only way the content gets improved is if people pay rather than pirate it.
