Netflix Will Hunt YOU Down!
I guess Netflix isn’t too happy with folks sharing their Netflix passwords with non subscribers. Apparently some British software company has developed a program designed to stop users of media streaming services, such as HBO and Netflix, from illegally sharing passwords to their accounts with others.
The way it works is the streaming service companies would hire this software company which in turn uses AI and “behavioral analytics and machine learning,” (whatever that is), to monitor and analyse password sharing activity across user accounts. The AI would then identify the rule breakers, as well as detect the fine line between finding account sharers and harassing a customer. Now don’t ya’ll be sharing those passwords boys and girls! |
With Netflix though, you can only stream so many devices at the same time depending on the plan. So, I don't understand the problem.

Apparently Millennials are the major offenders. Netflix suspects at least 26% of Millennials are sharing passwords in violation of Netflix rules. How they would know that is beyond me. |

What is this "Netflix" you speak of?? If I have the spare time to watch TV and have any brainpower left after work, I should be playing my guitar or doing any of a hundred other things. We don't have cable, use Hulu, or any other subscription service. Plus we DVR everything and zap commercials and the theme music for the very few shows that we watch.

The big deal is the fine print in the user agreement. Netflix is in business to sell streaming content not to give it away for free. |
I use my account in several locations as do many users, I don't see how subscribers would not see this as harassment.

Also, Netflix is advanced enough that they wouldn't need to hire an outside firm to determine this. Just because a software company makes a piece of software doesn't mean that the streamers will use it. I happily pay for my Netflix subscription and don't know anyone who shares, but I know it happens. I think Netflix would be better off continuing to create unique content than paying for software to find people sharing their passwords. |

To me, Netflix is one of the best bargains in TV content. For like, 20 bucks a month you have unlimited access to your choice of uninterrupted, commercial free movies and shows. Commercial free. No need to even hold your finger on the FF button. Plus, if you want to watch one show in the living room, your spouse can watch a different one in the den, the kids can watch something else in their rooms. Which is what I think Netflix intended by allowing streaming content on multiple devices. (How this changes family dynamics is a discussion for another thread). So let them crack down on illegal sharing of passwords. I want them to become financially solvent, so that I can continue to enjoy their service. |

My netflix account allows two simultaneous users/devices. It doesnt care who or where they are.

So, again, I don't see any problem. |
