Sharing Netflix and HBO passwords is now a federal crime [View all] GummyBearz Jul 2016 OP

No it means if you watch next flicks on your computer your wife can not watch it on hers awake Jul 2016 #1

Maybe I phrased it wrong GummyBearz Jul 2016 #3

Actually no. Depending on your Netflix plan, you can have 1 to 4 simultaneous streams still_one Jul 2016 #31

IMO: This law is absurd. In_The_Wind Jul 2016 #2

I agree puffy socks Jul 2016 #5

It is more Like buying a movie ticket and then holding the side door open awake Jul 2016 #8

Exactly (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #11

So wrong on so many levels GummyBearz Jul 2016 #14

But you are not allowed to copy it or share the DVD with others not in your house awake Jul 2016 #16

No kidding GummyBearz Jul 2016 #21

Because they allow only four users aty a time. so how would someone cooridinate watching puffy socks Jul 2016 #49

The legal case delt with someone passing on a password awake Jul 2016 #52

" case was not about Netflix who allows people to shrare the password with their family members. " puffy socks Jul 2016 #54

I see no problem in limiting the use of a password to only those authorized to use it. awake Jul 2016 #58

Well I'm so glad you trust corporate America to only use laws for the purpose they were intended. puffy socks Jul 2016 #64

Me thins you are reading more into my response than I intended awake Jul 2016 #66

Whether it is a password, or a ticket, the terms of access are spelled out LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #17

Are you bipolar or just sharing your DU password with someone? GummyBearz Jul 2016 #24

What part of "the terms of access are spelled out" is confusing to you? LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #26

I guess your definition of access is different than mine GummyBearz Jul 2016 #27

False. The ruling says nothing about you knowing anyone's password; it concerns what you LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #30

Which is why the click bait headline is bullshit mythology Jul 2016 #29

+1 (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #32

Right. Exactly... Chan790 Jul 2016 #60

so if someone comes over to your house to watch should you be arrested? puffy socks Jul 2016 #51

No, its not GummyBearz Jul 2016 #13

Geez, this discussion went off the rails quick. And I mean it took a completely different track... ChisolmTrailDem Jul 2016 #19

I am complaining about passwords GummyBearz Jul 2016 #25

This ruling says no such thing; you are making that up. (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #33

"The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last week ruled that sharing online passwords is a crime..." GummyBearz Jul 2016 #53

The headline is a simplification of the ruling. Read the ruling (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #55

The headline is click-baity and wrong. Chan790 Jul 2016 #61

Why two passwords? Don't you live in the same house? cherokeeprogressive Jul 2016 #38

No where does it say that others are not allowed to watch with you awake Jul 2016 #20

my take away from all of this... Javaman Jul 2016 #4

Per the ruling, your password is the same as the key to your office LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #15

and if that key is to your home? and you use that password in your home? nt Javaman Jul 2016 #28

Not the same thing; the "door" being "opened" is not in your home; it is on the remote network. (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #34

okay, I'm missing something, and it's probably a big something... Javaman Jul 2016 #42

Under the terms of service, if they're not part of your household, they cannot access Netflix LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #45

reread the link... Javaman Jul 2016 #47

The article is a simplification of the ruling. Read the ruling (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #56

Well if you take a house mates key and use it to open a locked box of theirs with out permission awake Jul 2016 #35

but is this not stealing a house mates key, this is giving your house make your own key. nt Javaman Jul 2016 #41

No, this is your house mates giving someone else a key to your house without your permission (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #44

rereading the article it is illegal to share passwords with family and friend by Netflix Javaman Jul 2016 #46

The article is a simplification of the ruling. Read the ruling (nt) LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #57

The Netflix EULA specifically alllows use by memberrs of your household. LongtimeAZDem Jul 2016 #6

Yea, Netflix has always been generous, but now there is a federal law... GummyBearz Jul 2016 #9

This should keep the NSA busy. kairos12 Jul 2016 #7

... GummyBearz Jul 2016 #40

No, you're assuming facts into the ruling that skew your perception of it. Chan790 Jul 2016 #62

Do you work for netflix? GummyBearz Jul 2016 #63

"The court is now saying that is illegal." Chan790 Jul 2016 #65

"Netflix and HBO have said they don’t have a problem with people sharing passwords" PatSeg Jul 2016 #10

But Netflix and HBO don't have the power to enforce laws GummyBearz Jul 2016 #12

Well, at least they will not be inclined PatSeg Jul 2016 #18

There has to be an injured party to bring the case forward. giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #23

Considering Netflix allows for multiple profiles under one login giftedgirl77 Jul 2016 #22
