I wouldn't say people rolled over. A lot of people had the money and the means to pay. And only didn't because password sharing was easy. When Netflix crackdown on it they got their own subscription.

I share my account, so I'm not pretending to be holier than anyone else else, but let's not pretend we weren't happily violating the TOS.

If you want to be a pirate go be a pirate. If you want to fight the power, shit do that too.

But don't act like this is some kind of moral protest.

Netflix ran marketing campaigns based on the fact that you could share passwords in the past.
