Remember when you could watch tv and movies with your friends and or lend them a copy of your purchase?

Stick it to these people with your wallets.
And they can fuck right off. We dropped netflix over this shit and don’t miss it
My parents have been pirating since before the days of bootleg CD’s & DVD’s and I will continue to pirate until they give me a reason not to
Netflix said the same and got cold feet. I’m still sharing my account. Wonder if Disney will go through with it.
Netflix absolutely enforced this in the US last year. I was sharing an account with my sister and we started getting notices about choosing a “home base” for our devices so Netflix could register it on their side to enforce if anyone outside of that initial IP began leveraging it.
My solution to this would be:
- Buy two Raspberry Pis (3 or higher) or use two old laptops if you have them
- Set up Pi VPN server on the one at your house
- Connect the one at your sister’s house to it via ethernet to her router
- Turn that one into a wireless AP (https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-setting-wireless-access-point/)
- Connect your sister’s smart TV or whatever devices to it and as far as Netflix are concerned you’re both in the same house
