    I was paying for it, for four screens and multiple users, as permitted on their site.

          I guess they changed their minds then. Hypocrites or not I still feel like wanting to get paid for people using your service is reasonable. I’ve never used Netflix but if I did I’d imagine this wouldn’t affect me much as a paying customer. It seems to mainly be an issue for those who either travel alot or are using somebody else’s account

        No, they were using paid accounts.

        If I buy a frisbee and throw it to a friend, my friend doesn’t owe the frisbee company anything. I paid for the frisbee, I can do what I want with it.

        If I pay for 4 simultaneous streams from a video company, why is it that company’s business how and when I use them, or who I share them with?

        I allow people to use it for free as it’s not a huge expense, and it’s something nice to do.
