I suspect students are considered part of the "household" because they are for tax and healthcare purposes. But who is going to sue to establish that?

#4As soon as I get this email I’m going to cancel Netflix and start pirating anything I want to watch, which frankly isn’t very much on Netflix anymore.

#5Time will tell if this is the right move. Personally I can't remember the last time I watched any content that came from NF. I think the last time I even considered something on their platform was when Stranger Things season 2 was released. Maybe.
Something tells me this isn't going to go the way the would have hoped.

From previous information I've seen, they'd have to physically go home once a month and use Netflix on their device there. Otherwise that device will get flagged.

Netflix is renowned for testing changes to the product, learning from the data, and iterating. We know that they have been testing in various markets over the last year or so.
So I'd be pretty sure that they are confident in this change.

Yep, I'm divorced and my minor son goes back and forth between his mother's house and mine on a weekly basis. I have a NF subscription and he is signed into my NF account over there on his xbox and the moment NF tries to extort additional money from me is the moment I cancel my subscription.

This is always said when a large public company does something that's:
1. controversial enough people begin drawing lines in the sand
2. increasing prices without any customer benefit
3. going against the headwinds of the economy as consumers tighten their belts
Maybe you're right, but I can't think of a single time this hasn't backfired. The Law of Unintended Consequences is a law for a reason.
