1 Like I said, it's up to you what you do with your account. But don't act to be smarter than others without knowing what's going on in the backround. "Synamedia has unveiled a new AI system where they can catch out users sharing accounts. The company’s machine learning is used to spot where shared passwords are being used. The service is able to decide how to deal with the offender by either making them upgrade to a premium service or shutting down the account." Also, you say that Netflix can't do anything about it or won't in that matter? ….They are already working on it as we speak.

Except people in the same household are already allowed to share passwords. Think about it.
This is a scare tactic put out to try and scare people from sharing passwords, because they think they'll be banned. So the AI can tell people are sharing passwords...is it against the contract to share passwords with your wife or child or roommate or partner?
If I visit a friend or a family member and watch Netflix on a device at their house on a regular basis while someone is watching at my house, is that against the contract? How is the AI going to tell the difference between that situation and two people who live apart and share an account?
I work in software. I know AI has come far, but I don't think this will pan out. And if Netflix somehow finds 15-20million people doing these things, the company is not going to suddenly ban all of them. That'd be corporate suicide.
