they should simply have published numbers for how many simultaneous stream they permit and just drop the oldest connection active when a new one would exceed the limit. that is a soft way to clamp down, eventually those sharing will tire of it if they have too many friends borrowing it.
now the idea of having to put in a number texted to me to continue watching is annoying enough to drop a service.
not sure how much room the other streaming services will have for raising fees to compensate for sharing with the pricing on D+
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoWell, from experience I know Netflix's accounts only have 1, 2 or 4 simultaneous streams (for family sharing), so there's already restrictions in place for amount of content consumed per paid account. I'd say that's already a pretty fair deal / limitation, and if anything it's helped family members / people who you share an account with get used to watching Netflix. What I'm saying is that they allowed it on purpose, to make Netflix more prolific with consumers. If they crack down on it now, it probably won't suddenly cause a big increase in subscribers though.
