Netflix has announced a pair of new measures to charge users sharing passwords between people who don't live in the share household.

Netflix and others need to come up with a scheme similar to the legacy newspapers online access: create a limited number of free connections with a discount for new accounts and a reward for the account sharing the info.

I know there will be a lot of whining about this plan. But Netflix (and eventually others) have to do this. Too many are sharing with others outside of their households. Had a cousin that shared the account with her daughters when they went off to school. Who shared it with their friends and/or S/Os. My cousin wound up locked out of her own account. She had to call CS, reset the password and won't share her account with anyone now that the daughters have moved out.
