Theft? 🤣

Also, how about taking a 40% pay cut from his annual salary?
Speaking for USA customers, a goodly amount of content has come and gone on Netflix. Like the UK shows that used to be there are now on Britbox, and many asian content has moved to Viki. Other examples are Star Trek, CBS content moved to Paramount. Marvel content shown on Netflix is on Disney now. So whatever you are into there is alternatives to finding a lot of content on Netflix. Still Netflix as some good collection of content, but not always the content you fancy.
I know it's an unpopular opinion, but it is what it is. People who will cancel don't find enough value in Netflix services and Netflix obviously expects some churn.Good, pay their price for their service or unsubscribe but sharing with those outside your household is against the TOS and analogous to theft.
What is a Netflix Household?
A Netflix account is meant to be shared with people who live in the same location with the account owner.
Sharing your Netflix account
A Netflix account is meant to be shared in one household – people who live in the same location with the account owner.
Simple as that.
Woe be to the company that fostered the idea of breaking their own TOS when it suited them, and now tries to use said TOS as a bludgeon. 😂It never ceases to amaze me the number of people here that conveniently leave out the important parts to justify theft.

It states very clearly "A Netflix account is for people who live together in a single household. Learn more about sharing Netflix."
You agreed to this by using the service. I don't like it either but it is what it is. Netflix owns their content or the distribution rights to other content and can charge what they want for you to view that content.
You are not entitled to change their TOS to suit your personal feelings on the matter.
This discussion does not have to do much with feelings, if Netflix wants they can increase the price 10x. The question is if it is smart to do so, there are a lot of people that pay for the service and in a new order might not do so. Netflix is free to enforce their rules and lose subscriptions because of that.
He already has a lower base salary ($650,000) than Tim Cook ($3 million). And his total 2021 compensation ($40.8 million) was less than half of Tim Cook's ($98.73 million)
In her case, she might be fine. I suspect it is a combination of IP addresses and device MAC addresses. If multiple IP addresses are accessing their service at the same time, they might check if there is a consistent MAC address that accesses from both IP locations (i.e. the traveling with a laptop issue, as the same MAC address will be used in different IP locations). As for your girlfriend's case, if she is accessing at your home's IP via a MAC address that does not move, but no one ever logs in at her main location's IP at the same time, then Netflix could interpret this as a household that owns multiple homes, and thus might be considered in compliance with their terms.
Why doesn’t Netflix ban all the accounts that share the account then?Good, pay their price for their service or unsubscribe but sharing with those outside your household is against the TOS and analogous to theft.

Netflix is cool with you sharing your account
Don't worry about lending your Netflix password. CEO Reed Hastings says sharing entertainment is a good thing.
"We love people sharing Netflix," CEO Reed Hastings said Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show here in Las Vegas. "That's a positive thing, not a negative thing."
Yes, they most certainly can change their opinion. And they are well within their rights to enforce their TOS as written. But when your audience/customer base has become accustomed to a practice that is now used by the competition? Not a good change of mind.
Netflix and their right to enforce their TOS aside, I think you're very wrong about this. If a service is already paid for, most reasonable people absolutely do not care about where it's used geographically. At worst, it's seen as lending/borrowing. Lawyers, pedants, and Netflix execs? Sure, they'd call it theft.
Disney, Apple and Amazon will be the only ones left in 10 years or so… They have all the money in the world to burn on great content for a low price.
