I still share my password with a few other households and we've experienced no service interruption at all. if they catch me, I'll just cancel my account then resub to binge anything that looks interesting. plenty of free streaming sites I can scroll through while complaining that there's nothing good on, I don't need to pay for the privilege.

As far as I can tell their "crackdown" has just been "send an email to people using from more than one IP address".

Same here and I haven't received any warning or blocking. As soon as I get told or blocked then I'll cancel. That way in their metrics they see I was blocked and then cancelled. But so far it just keeps working.
