No, you define "limiting access to one IP". Because they don't do that. It's not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.
okay preventing password sharing is a dick move then
Why? Can you share a Windows licence? Is that also a dick move?
You pay to be able to use your account on a certain amount of devices. It shouldn't matter where those devices are located.
A windows license is just for one device so your comparison doesn't work.
You pay for what the TOS says. Netflix's TOS say 'any number of devices in the same household. What you're complaining about is that they didn't enforce the rule from the beginning. You're basically complaining that Netflix offered you their service for lower prices for some time before enforcing the real price.
look if you don't believe it's a dick move that's fine, we can have different opinions
