Netflix Is Going To Start To Crack Down On People Sharing Passwords

Bad news for Millennials: You THINK you're getting away with sharing Netflix passwords . . . but you're not. Netflix knows you're doing it, and they will crack down . . . at some point . . . maybe.

This week, a Netflix exec said that they're "monitoring" accounts they believe are being shared . . . and they're looking into, quote, "consumer-friendly ways" of preventing it from happening.

It's unclear what that means . . . but it MIGHT just mean that they're weighing whether it's even worth inconveniencing paying customers by trying to chase down people who are trying to beat the system. Netflix already has built-in constraints: Each account can only have one to four simultaneous streams, depending on the plan. For example, the standard $12.99 plan is already capped at two devices watching at once.

Regardless, Netflix says they're not making any changes yet. (You can hear the exec talking about it below. Skip to the 30:22 mark.)
