Remember when you could watch tv and movies with your friends and or lend them a copy of your purchase?

Huh, I don't even need an account or a password to steam on Stremio
And they can fuck right off. We dropped netflix over this shit and don't miss it
Netflix said the same and got cold feet. I'm still sharing my account. Wonder if Disney will go through with it.
Netflix absolutely enforced this in the US last year. I was sharing an account with my sister and we started getting notices about choosing a "home base" for our devices so Netflix could register it on their side to enforce if anyone outside of that initial IP began leveraging it.
So what if you travel, can you not stream from a hotel since it's a different IP address?
You can, as long as you check in that device at the "home base" with your other devices every 30 days. At least that's what I remember from the fuzzy details.
We unsubscribed when it happened, only recently subbed again to watch some stuff, but I think we'll pause again since we're all caught up.
I don’t know about Netflix, but last time I tried, YouTube TV let you stream from not your “home” for like a week at a time
Netflix is every 30 days the device has to be connecting from the home IP.
I see, well still no issues in Canada. The day it happens is the day I cancel.
My family got several of those notices. One time me and my sister were not able to watch anything using my mother's account. We stopped using Netflix altogether but a few weeks later my wife opened the app and we were able to use it without any issues. I still see the option to pay for "sharing" or whatever it's called but we don't have it enabled
My solution to this would be:
Can confirm Netflix enforcing in US, I cancelled same day I got the prompt
Lol. Disney spent all their money on IP and now everybody hates them.
My parents have been pirating since before the days of bootleg CD's & DVD's and I will continue to pirate until they give me a reason not to
