Netflix on Tuesday expanded its crackdown on password sharing to the

United States and more than 100 other countries, alerting users that their
accounts cannot be shared for free outside of their households.

The streaming video pioneer has been looking for new ways to make money
as it faces signs of market saturation, with efforts including limits on
password borrowing and a new ad-supported option.

Netflix said it was sending emails about account sharing to customers in 103
countries and territories, including the United States, Britain, France,
Germany, Australia, Singapore, Mexico and Brazil.

The emails state that a Netflix account should only be used in one
household. Paying customers can add a member outside of their homes for
an additional fee. In the US, the fee is $8 per month.

Members can also transfer a person’s profile so

the user can keep their viewing history and
recommendations.

… there is a good reason why NOT to support the Guardian Lloyd Green
Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep
our journalism open for everyone to read, including in Chile. If this is you,
please continue to read for free. 
But if you are able to, then there are THREE good reasons to support us
today. 
1. Our quality, investigative journalism is a scrutinising force at a time
when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so
your money directly powers our reporting
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this
message
Help power the Guardian’s journalism for the years to come, whether with
a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly
basis from just £2. It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest
assured that you’re making a big impact every single month in support of
open, independent journalism. Thank you.
