Yes. This is completely addressable using technology. No need to turn people into criminals. Why can't they just prevent any one account from viewing more than N videos simultaneously? Could make N 1 by default, and then charge people for family packs where N is higher than 1.
- jim_h 15y agoThey already limit the number of concurrent streaming videos. Last time I checked, N == 1. (Other packages might have different options.)
- mike-cardwell 15y agoThen that, with the IP limit should be sufficient. Their goal should be to minimise the abuse without turning their customers into criminals.
- kd0amg 15y agoI'm pretty sure my housemates have had multiple simultaneous streams on their shared account.
- lotharbot 15y agoone-disc plans allow one stream. two-disc plans allow two simultaneous streams. four streams is the maximum.
- bartonfink 15y agoMy wife and I have a one disc plan and have streamed two videos simultaneously.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoMaybe our account is different, but my girlfriend and I have watched shows on two different devices simultaneously. Maybe they limit it by IP? We were both at home.
