The Controversy Surrounding Netflix's Password Sharing Policy

Netflix has launched a crackdown on password sharing in the US, asking anyone using a Netflix log-in for more than 31 days at a different location to get a separate account or pay $7.99 a month to be added to the main account. Some long-time Netflix customers are upset about the new policy, with many taking to social media to complain and threatening to quit or switch to competitors with more lax sharing requirements. However, analysts say that Netflix has probably accounted for some public anger and loss of some subscribers, and that the company's focus on quality shows and movies will ultimately keep subscribers loyal.
