    I am not buying it. I have cancel our subscription and never share my password before. So have many that I know. I haven’t heard from a single person who told me they are a new subscriber because they can’t share password any longer. They just stop watching. However, I hear a lot of people upset about the approach and cancelled where before they just were too lazy to cancel (that includes me).

      But Netflix may be ok with freeloaders no longer watching, since they don’t have to pay for streaming costs.

        I don’t think it’s free loading. The deal is (was?) per stream. It’s none of their business who is watching and where when they structure the plans like that. I definitely will not ask for permission to watch when traveling. My location is not something they need to be concerned with. Hence I left Netflix. I’ll buy a month in fall to catch up and that’s it.

      Did you talk to them in person or over the internet? Because by “the internet” I necessarily mean “the people that are on the internet the most.”
