Love how you guys rationalize stealing from companies.
Who's stealing? I pay Netflix to be able to stream on up to four screens simultaneously. What business is it of theirs if the four screens are all at my house or if one is at my sister's or mother's?

Well they already know. You can already see that info on your account.
You are missing the point of all this.
Look at my post above.

I'm not talking about using the four accounts that you pay for. I'm talking about people who think that they should be able to hand out their passwords to as many friends as they'd like to.

If I'm paying for a service that only allows my account to stream on a certain number of devices simultaneously, what exactly is being stolen? I don't give my account to people, because most people I know pay for their own Netflix.

You don't give your password out, but others give theirs out. If you give your password to people outside of your household, you're going against the terms that you agreed to. You can rationalize that you have the right to do whatever you want, but you're stealing services and giving them away (according to what you'd agreed upon).

good .... it's stealing and is harmful to the business. Netflix already tried to screw filmmakers out of pension and welfare contributions, but it didn't work because of a potential strike.

TD M/TV Board: Why so many streaming services? Why can't it all be on Netflix?
Also TD M/TV Board: Screw Netflix.

It's funny how people think all these big business are going to allow this stuff to continue forever. They'll allow it until they have enough of a stranglehold on the market.

I bet everyone who works at that company was an obnoxious tattle-tell in grade school

Nah. Cable companies lock content/full access to your IP address. I have charter spectrum. My spectrum tv app works like a cable box when connected to my WiFi, but only has limited content like CNBC when off my home WiFi network.

I do find it shocking that Netflix and other streaming services haven't put an end to the sharing of login info.
Netflix has already taken the only reasonable fix IMO: attaching number of streams to the subscription tier.
It becomes a self correcting issue.
Word of mouth discussion/advertising of their shows likely makes up the difference in value from the users being independent subscribers.

I remember when I first got Netflix, back in 98 or 99. When you got a DVD and a week later you got anther one.
I remember thinking the streaming service Qwikster was dumb and wouldn't last.
Now I watch Netflix more than cable.

Eh?
I thought Quikster was the attempted DVD by mail spin off of Netflix.
Not a 90s streaming pioneer

And I'd say for anything I do find out of the 87907098709798 channels I have, if I land on something that's interesting, it's watch 4 minutes, commercials 10 minutes, watch 5 minutes, commercials 10 minutes. It's so damn frustrating.

Is that password paid for?
Posted on 1/12/19 at 9:55 am to WG_Dawg
Nope, I have looked and we are stuck with that crap

I've had Netflix since the beginning when it was free for 90 days with $300 DVD players and a 27" crt tv was $500.
Netflix started with DVDs, in the 00s they got a facility in Baton Rouge and Louisiana got one day shipping on movies, it was nice.
I haven't watched a DVD or Blu Ray in years.
I guess I needed to express that time had passed since joining netflix and then Qwikster. Qwikster was like 2010 or 11.

I think I'm going to cut direct TV. I have Hulu, Netflix, Prime and YouTube Red.
Sports I can get with bunny ears. Except espn.
Thursday games are online.

This is easy to fix...only allow one log in at a time. NFL Sunday Ticket streaming is like this. Once you are logged on, no one else can log in.

the only "customers" they'll lose are freeloaders that already aren't paying.
Nah. There are people who split a membership who otherwise just wouldn't have it. 3 people paying for one Netflix account is better than 3 people not paying for one at all.
