Netflix password sharing


I’ve cancelled Netflix now anyway. Content has gone massively downhill.

This will screw up loads of people’s accounts if it is implemented badly. I know iPhones/iPads dynamically change their MAC addresses for extra security. If it’s by public ip address then they also need to be careful. Network providers also dynamically allocate those.
 
I sometimes watch it at my daughters when I go there, does that mean I’ll no longer be able to watch it when I’m at her house? Surely they can’t stop you logging into your own account and watching it elsewhere?

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? 🤔

I am pretty sure that as long as nobody is streaming in your own household at the same time there won't be a problem.
 
I used a mates account for a couple of years. Then his account got logged out and they had to reset everything. They had a weeks suspension of favourites and ‘continue watching for’. Since I started paying myself I’ve hardly watched it.
 
Its one where the threat of it will likely better for them than an implementation. Not Disney, Prime etc... havent said a word about this.
I'm finding the content on Disney way better than Netflix atm anyway.
 
You already have a set amount of devices on Netflix

That's simultaneous devices.

Currently you can set Netflix up with your account on as many devices in as many locations as you like, but when you try and watch on more than your limit at the same time, it won't let the last person watch anything until one of the other devices stops watching Netflix.
It's free with Sky?

Netflix is available as an extra on your Virgin or Sky account, but it's an extra charge on your subscription.

I'll be very interested how they discern someone regularly having sleepovers at his girlfriend's house, and watching some Netflix after he's done the deeds, and someone simply giving his girlfriend his Netflix password so she can watch stuff when he's not there.
