Some might say that since they paid no taxes on any of their profits thanks to the rest of us footing the bill; they can deal with it. I pay each month and do not share my account what others do is between them and Netflix.

No. No it doesn't. This is similar to the piracy spiel. Most non-paying users would have never paid in the first place. Getting something for free is nowhere near the same thing as having to foot a new bill. Sure, there are losses; but in reality, they're a small fraction of what they claim. And the freeloaders spread word-of-mouth about the service programming and quality just the same as the paying viewers, so it may actually come up roses for Netflix in the end.

It's also worth noting that I am sure they are more than happy to include the views/watches in the numbers they share when trying to negotiate contracts to bring more content to the service.

Sounds like the same bogus claim always made. Literally making up the part that no one would buy the games if they didn't pirate them. That's a load of garbage.
