Well, the way it's been is that two people could access one account at one time - so, if you and a friend in another state wanted to watch the same streaming movie and perhaps, say, discuss it in chat or on the phone, you could. Now they're going to change that so only one person can watch one movie at one time on one machine.
The price hike was just the beginning. If they wanted to jack up their prices for mail-rentals, there is a way to do it gradually that doesn't leave customers feeling the way they do at the gas pump. Last night, my sister read to me that Starz is pulling its licensed content from Netflix as of February. So, between less content, higher prices (because you'll have to keep the 1-disc option with less streaming content, right?), and restricting their paying customers' access - you see the point of my post.
