Will Netflix's New Password Sharing Crackdown Lead to Profit?

As most of us are painstakingly aware, gone are the days of sharing your friend's or family's Netflix account! Do you think this will lead to growth for Netflix or doom in an increasingly saturated streaming market?

23% Yes. Their decision makes sense from a business perspective.

8% Yes. Users who borrow other's accounts are essentially stealing.

8% Netflix? I still rent from Blockbuster.
