    How is what they're doing not against the law? They specifically told everyone to share the password, now bait and switch they want all password users to pay. I'm pretty sure there should be a class action suit being brought to Netflix soon in Canada and the USA. I will sign up right away.

So with the money saved I got Disney + so I get double the content for the same amount of money. Grand kids happy win win.
