I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1

Tracking IP and giving warnings to people it detects stream sharing on different IPs. If warnings aren't heeded locking the account

It's really the only feasible way for them to act on it and it's extremely dumb considering they are doing this because of lost revenue which in turn is going to cause more lost revenue

I honestly expect them to drop this crusade in a few months after they realize their mistake

It's not even lost revenue, they're assuming everyone using it would pay if they had to and they're doing their math on that very false assumption. For that matter, infinite growth of profits is impossible but capitalism currently operates under a structure that assumes it is the way things are.

What if you're on vacation and the IP is from wherever you're at?

Yes, which also has the added bonus of not being able to use a VPN for region locked content.

The big question Id have here is, how do you prove its not just me signing in at two locations? What if I own two houses? What if I have a sign in at work and a sign in at home? What if Im babysitting or housesitting or something along those lines? What if Im using a mobile device, and my IP is constantly changing? What if I just travel a lot? Should I never be allowed to sign in anywhere but my one designated home address?

This seems borderline unenforceable without absolutely breaking the current system.

I read they were going to send a code to the account holder if you are logging in from a different location. Kind of like a two factor authentication. So if it was your Netflix account, you can just put in the code and watch wherever. If someone else is using it, they are relying on getting that code from the person paying.

That's like password sharing with extra steps. If my mom feel to bothered by inputting 2fa i'll probably cancel lol.

Netflix just needs to stop spending so much money on so many trash shows and movies.
