And yet according to this article they were quoted as saying they don't care. I don't give a shit either way because I just pay for all of my own accounts but I did let my dad use my account for a few months and he ended up subscribing so I think sometimes account sharing could bring them new business.

To be honest though EVERYTHING ON CM became a huge argument.
I don't have netflex and didn't get involved in the fight but I enjoyed the reasoning and the lack of them.

After reading the article it looks like they are going to "requiring customers to change their passwords periodically or texting codes to subscribers’ phones that they would need to enter to keep watching", first them implement the fingerprint. They should just go ahead with the fingerprint plan because its easy to call or text the actual account owner to get the password or text for the code.

I know this but they are now saying it's for households only. So if one of those accounts are shared with a different household it's an issue. If you read the article they are starting to play around with fingerprint id


How will that work if you watch Netflix on your TV or use a blu ray player? My Mom's cable provider has an app on their channel guide you can launch but she does not have a cell phone, a smart TV or computer.

My brother lets my Mom use his. I don't see it as a big deal. I grabbed that Black Friday special last year for Hulu and got it for 99 cents a month for a year. I really don't think it would have been horrible if I had shared my password lol.

That's bullshit. If I pay for multiple accounts then I should be able to share one of those accounts with whomever I want. I'm paying for it regardless. We need congress to step up and regulate this crap.

You aren't boating for multiple accounts. You are paying for multiple profiles. Not the same thing. They don't care about sharing with your household. They care about sharing with people outside of your household

What if you have a child away at college? I think most people that share are sharing with either a parent or a child.
