People shouldn't be abusing the services like this anyway. However, it's only a matter of time before the streaming services end up just as bad a cable. Perhaps more so.
To me the trouble with this argument is that the services are selling per screen. Why does it matter if they're in the same location or not? Its just another way single folks are subsidizing families.
I'd agree with you wholeheartedly but for the fact these services implicitly and even (Netflix) explicitly encouraged password sharing, right up until they didn't.
The past is never a good defence for rejecting change. Think about it, you once spent your day shitting in a diaper and were encouraged to do so too. Just because a business strategy was something at some point doesn't mean it needs to stay so.
Actually quite the opposite. Companies that don't evolve or adapt to change are the ones that usually end up going bust. There's a reason your Netflix account is no longer a system for sending you DVDs in red envelopes.
You know, we almost had it. We almost did it. We had people back signing up for legal and hassle-free content consumption. And why not, it was what people wanted. No more searching various torrent sites for a link, then downloading it and waiting another couple hours 'til your shows are here, hoping that it wasn't some goofball mislabeling the whole deal or some shitty rip that made you wonder what the hell you're watching right now, and you didn't have to make sure that your player was at the very, very, V
