Comment on Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions
Sarsaparilla@kbin.social 1 year agoNetflix wanting to get paid for their service and content is reasonable.
Sure, it's reasonable, and why I started subscribing in the first place. But if I pay for four screens, I expect to be able to use all of those four screens, no matter what address they are being viewed from.
You’re not paying for that though. The terms of service have never allowed giving other people your details and letting people outside your household use your account.
Also you can still use 4 devices no matter where you are - mobile devices and tablets and laptops are not IP restricted.
Netflix started out encouraging password sharing, even promoted it on Twitter back in the days.
Yeh, when they allowed it. They changed their terms of service.
Mobile devices are restricted by being forced to connect to your 'home' network regularly.
And that’s fine because it’s not stopping you from using your 4 devices.

Yeah that’s totally fair and Netflix fucked that up
