Netflix cracks down on password sharing

[Spizz]

Is that a dodge? Really are you acting in good faith by using a service you paid for in a different location or are looking for "reasons" like someone on here as to why their friend should be regarded as a member of the household?

You can answer that question to yourself but it's just funny how people complain over others not paying for their electricity but then turn around and feel so entitled themselves that they don't have to pay for a cheap service.

I'm not complaining or dodging anything, I'm asking a question to the good people on this thread who are bringing up terms and conditions like it's a clear cut black and white issue, when clearly, it's not.

For our South African four connections family account, my son is using it in Holland, my daughter is using it in Scotland and I'm using it in Indonesia. Of course, it's still used in my house in South Africa.

So am I using my account in "good faith" and who decides?

if you all share the same primary residence, i would say that is using the service in good faith

I didn't say it's clear cut. But there's clearly correct examples and clearly incorrect examples as the guy trying to justify why his friend can share his account. But for some reason people have attacked us for pointing out how people who try to use it legitimately will ultimately suffer because of people who don't. It's not so much terms & conditions I care about but entitled a@ses who don't want to pay for a cheap service.

People who pay for a service are now pirates, eish!

And those hitting the Terms and Conditions anvil, those get changed regularly ... , so they are now, no longer what I signed up with/for.

Then cancel the service.

If they're/you're visiting those places then sure, it's in good faith. If they're living there then obviously they're no longer part of the same household.

Then cancel the service FFS. You agreed to the terms... and no one is forcing you to stay.

Yes, and you are allowed to stream from 4 different locations as per their T&C's are you not able to? What people are not allowed to do is share the creds with non-family members or share between friends etc.
That's what they don't like. And I agree if you signed up for their service and went through the T&C's you would know you should not share it.

Now everyone is going to suffer because of some cheap arse idiots sharing one account between multiple housholds

This is dumb. Multiple streams is what I'm paying for. If friends or family share, what's the diffs? At least I pay for my video entertainment and not just download it all for free!

Your friend who gets it for free doesn't.

"Home taping is killing music". Remember that one? The biggest problem facing the streaming companies is the plethora of new competitors all wanting a piece of the pie. And they're worrying over the crumbs being dropped on the table. We all know they're going to be cannibalising each others' business, so we're going to revert to piracy to get the shows we want to see. Time for a new business model, chaps. Music's done it.

There are situations where a family is separated even by oceans. It doesn't mean they are no longer family they should still be able to share their one '4 stream' family account.

These are really tough economic times - sharing is caring.

 

[Jodes]

Your friend who gets it for free doesn't.

And if we share the cost?

 

[genetic]

And if we share the cost?

Across households? Again... it's against their terms.

The oldest trick in the book is to take the Kids account no one ever turns off and to delete that, make a new account called Kids and put a cartoon image as profile picture.
