  For the same reason you can't "share" your cable with your neighbors. Nobody cares that you're related. If you live in different households, you were obviously meant to get different accounts.

    > If you live in different households, you were obviously meant to get different accounts. I don't see why that's "obvious". Not only is that the way many other plans work (see: cell phone plans), it's literally how Netflix itself marketed the service for years.

      Give me a break. Netflix has been saying they were going to shut this stuff down for at least 2 years now.

  It's kind of up to the service provider to establish their terms and it's up to you to decide if you are willing to enter into those terms. Some services are per account per device, some are more permissive and some provide discounts when you add more users to a main account. But, it's not a birthright of any kind.
