Netflix again

From time to time, I'll review my streaming subscriptions. I don't want to keep any subscriptions for services I don't use, and will rotate them out. Recently though, I've simply cut back.

I say I've cut back, but I actually subscribed to a service recently. I've seen multiple conflicting reports about Netflix and its password crackdown. So, I subscribed to Netflix a few days ago -- I dropped it some time back because I didn't use it -- and have logged in on a family member's account. She'll use the service for a couple of weeks, then I'll try to log in at home.

Since I'm in a different ZIP Code, and have a different ISP, Netflix should detect I'm not at the same location. That way, I'll get to see exactly how Netflix handles password sharing.

Mind you, I'm not looking to violate Netflix Terms of Service. Rather, I want to see how it handles password sharing. What notices does it give? Will it actually block me from logging in? Will it simply scold me? What will it do?

I won't keep Netflix long. I'm only subscribing to test the service. I don't plan to watch anything, just see what happens when I log in after the account was used in a different city for a period of time.

My Steaming Life doesn't normally include Netflix. However, I am curious as to how it could impact others.
