But you can easily stream from that many locations in a day—heck, even twice that. The point is that it's pretty easy to tell which passwords have been shared in violation of the user agreement. No third party service needed.

That can be really easy.
I'm sure I'm typical for a small to mid-sized business. I have to keep an eye on what 700+ employees do. On top of that are around 300 - 1400 customers using our networks each day. Just managing security and performance plus dealing with compliance and audits produces a whole lot of data. In this era you have to have network-based security and a lot of data logging even the latter is only held for a short while. Forget about public or at work. I'm sure the fine print for your own ISP agreement lets the firm know more than you realize. Even if you create encrypted traffic you can still find end points. If you have an iPhone configured with good security and an Android device with Google logging much of what you do network devices can still know where you are and where you go. I have no doubts the data that tells me someone was watching Netflix when they were supposed to be working makes it easy for Netflix to find violators.

Are there a bunch of dealings out there like: "Hey, can I use your Netflix password today from noon to one?" "Sorry, the only time slot I have left is 6am to 6:30".

Netflix has 3 plans. The cheapest is to stream/download on one screen, the standard (which I have) authorizes two streams/downloads plus HD quality, and the most expensive gives 4 streams/downloads plus Ultra HD.
If someone uses a VPN, and a TV show is available in other countries only, they can change their IP address and stream a program not available in their country. For example, Fargo isn’t on Netflix in the US, but is in the UK. Netflix monitors sign-ins from locations other than your usual ones, and will send an email to notify the account holder when that happens, that looks like this: Quote:
I’m curious if anyone has tried to do more than the allowed number of streams at the same time for their account level, for example with friends or family.

It was actually the band Metallica that first launched a lawsuit against Napster that started the legal problems that eventually led to its peer to peer network being shut down .

Netflix should spend their time and money figuring out how to become relevant again and start adding more movies!

So, yes, this does happen. I would guess that the expensive services like HBO more often get shared than something cheap like Netflix. |

Thanks Kev. Had no idea Metallica had a hand in the demise of Napster.

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. |

Feel or think what you wish, but a lot of what people are doing with networked devices is not too hard to figure out.
