RE: Is This An End To Netflix Password Sharing?
Sigh... won't they ever learn?
All this will create is more annoyed honest customers and no new customers.
If the ones borrowing a password could afford their own, they would have done so. Thus, they will not become new customers if they are "locked out" some how.
This kind of AI has always lead to many false positives.
Imagine two sisters using the family netflix account. A good AI would find that two different people are watching videos at that home. But, is it appropriate to charge them double? Netflix is not charging per person, they are charging per streaming account. And, if either of those girls watch on their phones (while shopping) the AI would pick up that the locations are different.
Basically, people will suddenly find they can't reliably use their VPNs.
And customers will drop off as well as revenue.
(not mentioning anything about privacy and tracking people)
Slightly misleading article title, Netflix have no known relationship to that company.
In my opinion Netflix tolerate this kind of thing for the exact reasons you've stated.
they could, if they haven't already, employ this solution to fight back against password sharing, nothing misleading :) 👍the reason that they came up with this solution in the first place is because these streaming services are having this "problem"
Just to clarify, I'm not saying your post is misleading, I'm saying the cited article's title is misleading. And it is. These guys are getting free promo, good for them! :D this is literally their pitch. You think Netflix hasn't considered this deeply?
Also, for the record I find those "this thing costs this company or institution this much" claims to be worth very little. For example, one time a top newspaper in a certain city touted how millions were lost during a particularly heavy snow day. Actually no, millions were not lost. Projected millions were not made, perhaps, if even. Projected productivity was not reached. That's the ebb and flow of the real world, outside the nice models people like to make.
Again, not a direct attack on your post, but on the related content. If you want to stretch for it then perhaps a critique of your curation.
