Nonsense, and don't know what you're getting at. My wife can be watching at home, while I'm watching at my daughter's house. Two perfectly valid logons, which is what I'm entitled to, regardless of where. Sure, they can tell the logons are from different locations ... but that's exactly how it's supposed be used. Why else would they have a Netflix app for mobile devices?

Last weekend I inadvertently left my tablet logged on the Netflix, wife watching in the living room, and when I accessed Netflix from the den, I got a "too many logons" message (or something to that effect) that blocked me from watching until I ended the tablet session. Made me nuts for a minute, as I couldn't figure out why there were too many. The point being that Netflix knows how many are logged on with my ID, and from where, and denies service when the agreed limit is exceeded. No need for some 3rd party tracking software at all.

I think the OP is just repeating some internet myth.
