Probably will impact folks that travel and want to watch while away from home. Specifically, those where their family did not travel with them.

That said, probably easy enough to deal with that, as I'm guessing most of them take a common device with them? Not sure.

But, yeah, your example is pretty much how I view this. Was nice for a few cases where it was working. But hardly earth shattering.

I don't know anything about Netflix's system, but similar-seeming anti-fraud systems just fingerprint devices. Chances are, if you normally watch from your laptop or iPad and travel a lot, you're not going to notice any changes.

Exactly. Is what I tried to allude to with "common device."

That said, with how many folks leave their contacts in rental cars, I wouldn't be too shocked to know folks try to login at other locations. I imagine that would be a popular integration with hotel booking systems. Basically, make it so your netflix is attached to the hotel tv when you get there.

My gut is that hotels also don't want that?
