> the moral and legal right
I don’t think bringing morality into a discussion about a public corporation trying to make more money is helpful. The owners are abstract from it enough that they only care that share price go up.

In the world where it was an explicit feature in the top tier plan I already pay for.
- benjaminwootton 4y agoThe average person knows it is not reasonable to pay for a service then share the password with multiple households. For Netflix to ask you to stop seems a perfectly reasonable ask regardless of how you label it.
- nullfield 4y agoNah. When they made it “if you want the highest quality please buy two more streams to get it” everyone read “it’s reasonable to pay more for more streams and higher quality” then got groups together to use that. Netflix has made too many errors on the path to short-term value/quarterly numbers, from failing to sign longer-term deals (and thus enabling the creation of their current competitors in the first place) to repeatedly raising prices without making whatever their value proposition actually is much clearer to consumers. One might say it’s a house of cards, and right now random cards are being pulled out while they wonder if they can fix their mistakes before they “find out”.
