Netflix have published the rules for their forthcoming attempts to prevent account sharing.

What's the point of having a tier for sharing an account if you can't....share your account?

I'm still waiting for Netflix to update their profile transfer tool to allow moving profiles to a new account. I was sharing an account and now also have my wife's account. I'd really like to be able to move my profile from the old account to my wife's account to avoid losing history, but the tool currently only allows moving to a completely new account.

I really think such a feature is necessary if Netflix really wants people to only share with those in the same household. People in a household change over time and their current model doesn't really facilitate that.

You can share your account, with other people at your same physical location. You can't share your account with people who are going to be primarily watching Netflix from a different physical location than your own.

Does not seem unfair, IMO.

Oh boy, here we go.

Very curious to see how stringent they are going to be in enforcing this. This is going to disrupt a lot of multi-generational families who share an account but don't all live under the same roof.

I'm still unclear on how they are going to do this without significantly affecting the customer experience.

Remember when their marketing gimmick was "Love is sharing your password"

What does "multi-generational" have to do with anything? My mom doesn't live under my roof, and also I have no business sharing my Netflix account with her.
