Netflix wants to finish sharing accounts between friends
"The account participation is subject to further scrutiny," said Greg Peters, a senior executive at Netflix. Many subscribers share their password with third parties, in order to lower their bill payment at the end of the month.
However, an accurate way to monitor who is participating in Netflix accounts has not been announced. Account sharing has been inactive for many years and this allows family members or groups of friends to access Netflix content without paying additional fees and bypassing forms provided for this purpose.
The terms of use of Netflix clearly state the illegal nature of this practice. “Netflix, as well as any content displayed through the platform, is intended for personal and non-commercial use only and should not be shared with anyone outside your home
To combat this breach, Netflix currently has very limited resources. The service already limits the number of devices on which the same account can stream content at once. Going forward, the platform can limit the number of devices that can connect to a single account. To ensure that the external user who wants to connect from an unregistered tablet is denied access to the service.
