Never feel badly about sharing your Netflix

[Peh]

Oh my gosh, because I told some to be aware of violating their own contract and telling them that YET they are no known cases of people been sued or anything like that they start acting like they've burst a testicle. WOW. I can see that you guys FEEL entitled for violating your contracts. As I said, that's entirely up to you, but the way you justify and defend your act is far more than ridiculous. XD

Connecting the dots doesn't seem to be your strength.

 

The first link should make you aware that Netflix is using tools for collecting device specific data and verify them. That is mainly used against fraudst on free trials. The second link, which even says in it's URL is about stopping account sharing. But yeah, turning a blind eye is much easier.

Connect dots all you want until you've drawn a tin foil hat to wear, if you search for it you'll find clickbait rubbish that will draw you in for a read and amounts to nothing, want proof of that, here's an article from 2017 on that same DS site you linked.

Prison time for sharing passwords! I hope all those people in 2017 didn't have too rough a time in Jail.

I'm not saying that at no point will they try to clamp down on doing it if it was possible, but at a time when they are getting more and more competition from other groups I can't imagine they're going to jump on a the PR grenade that is cutting off a lot of the way some users enjoy the service.

 

Even if they were to attempt to stop the practice down the line.... why not make use of the ability to do so until that point anyway?

This is my last reply on the topic to yourself though! Don't imagine this is the first time you've shared your opinion on this and really don't see it working towards being the last, you believe what you believe and yeah that's not gonna change here so more posts aren't going to do much other than page views for VGChartz!

Leave my goddamn tin foil hats alone. I like how they sparkle in the sun. 

That sharing your password with others is against the terms of agreement is hopefully not something that I have to explain to you. Going to jail is far fetched, though.  

You are allowed to stream on 4 devices at the same time in the same household with the premium option. That account sharing is meant for family members. Netflix itself says so. Not me. That option costs 14 € for one household. You share it with 3 others. Netflix potential loss of 42€ per account due to sharing. Do the math for several million people doing so. As it is stated in the link from January this year, the amount of people sharing with different households seems to big, thus they will now take measures. What those measures will be are unknown as of now.

Don't.
First: Netflix will cancel your contract, which is not a real issue in itself.
Second: You will have to pay for the damage you did by sharing your account and could get sued. But there is yet no case known where people actually got sued. So, it's more likely that nothing will happen in this case.

I personally don't recommend it for whatever reason, but it's your life...

Yeah, chances of anything like this happening are about as good as getting arrested for jaywalking.

I've shared, because I have 4 screens simultaneous viewing in ultra HD (how the heck am I going to use 4 screens at the same time if the account isn't shared, btw) and am paying the premium price. Never had an issue, not even a cease and desist letter (have gotten it for going to websites that stream free hollywood movies so I know they aren't a myth).

You're living in a misplaced fear.

I've already explained what this is about. Do yourself a favor and read through the posts. 

This is not about fear lol
