Netflix password sharing


Trying to figure out how this will work? Netflix is saying that you account is limited to your household. So if I go to my mate's house and stream my account to his telly over a few beers, I'll get my wrist slapped? If I use a VPN how could they ever tell where I am? 🤔
 
My guess is they'll get you to confirm that "This location" is your registered address and then note the IP and trace.
If your VPN changes they'll ask you again, if you do it more than 3 or 4 times, they'll lock your account.
 
I'll just cancel it anyway, we pay for it but others watch it more than us as I have pretty much watched everything I need by now
 
If you pay for a service it shouldn’t be restricted to one household. I assume the cost will reduce due to this?
 
It's more likely to happen if you use the same set of ip addresses constantly on a TV.

They might ignore mobile devices
 
I use my daughters Netflix and she my Spotify Premium
Plus a random person in Glasgow who also has her Netflix login somehow.
 
I’ve used my nephews for around 4 or 5 years now, never had an issue. Netflix are pretty hot on VPNs for regional stuff so when the ‘clampdown’ comes I don’t think that’ll be a workaround.
