The article doesn't say how this works at all.

It sounds awesome, but I'd like to know more about it before I gave my dog a magic chewable.

Netflix: Piracy is Difficult to Compete Against and Growing Rapidly in c/[email protected]

My issue was cutting out the sharing. I was paying for 4 screens at a time. Why should they care which 4 screens are being used?

Once I realized a decent VPN was $5/month, that I could get TV shows without the 35% time addition of commercials, and stop worrying about what I get going away, the issue wasn't that Netflix was bad, it was just worse than the alternative.

edit: not that Netflix has commercials, but the fact one could get anything without them as well (like paying for cable...)
