[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 9288968, member: 6779196"] The thing is, this isn’t the first time they’ve tried to restrict account sharing, it’s just the first time the reaction has been accepting enough that they’ve actually gone through with it. Which indicates we [I]do[/I] collectively have the power to influence corporations to act in pro-consumer ways. We just can’t leverage that power unless enough of us care to bother to. I don’t know what it is about this time that finally got enough Netflix users to go with it, but I’m still pretty annoyed at those users, when we’ve managed to rebuff these attempts before. Of course, this specific battle is a lot less important to fight, than many others, and I understand it’s just not possible for a person to get active about every single issue. At the end of the day, we do have to live in a society, which means having to participate in it.
