Netflix users targeted as streaming giant launches major crackdown – here’s all you need to know
The main targets are believed to be account-holders whose extra users have been logging on via a smart TV or else using Fire Sticks or similar gadgets to connect to a television.
Netflix suggested there would be more leeway for students watching on their laptops and mobiles at halls of residence while their parents tune in elsewhere.Netflix said it defined a household as “a collection of the devices connected to the internet at the main place you watch Netflix”. It also insisted any new crackdown should not affect travel, so subscribers can continue to tune in "on your portable devices or sign in to a new TV, like at a hotel or a holiday rental".
People living in two places - such as the children of separated parents or those with second homes - have been told to make sure they log in to Netflix once a month at their account's designated "home" address. The firm also insisted anyone allowing their password to be shared would not be punished - but the apparent beneficiaries would now lose viewing access.
