Don't know if my sister just wants to scare her away, but she said that an acquaintance got an ad from her because the person was kidding Netflix too often. So often made new accounts to get it for free.
Do you know of similar cases
No, I don't know that. And in principle it is not illegal.
Well you have to enter your data and if you always enter it incorrectly it is already a crime.
Netflix is unable to verify identities. What did he get the "advertisement" about? Email, post?
Well I think Netflix can somehow manage that over the ip.
No. And Netflix is aware of this "gap", otherwise they would try to close and / or fix it!
Well, it could be. After all, you have to provide your means of payment. I don't know how far personal data can be obtained in this way. But I can already imagine that those who have given their means of payment can also be viewed in the course of an investigation. So by entering your means of payment, you are not going invisible if you violate the contract.
With Netflix it has long been impossible to create an account without linking an account.
So no, a Netflix account owner can be determined using his account data.
In theory, it would be like driving illegally. A performance sneak. But is hardly ever prosecuted
But is hardly ever prosecuted
And how do you come to the conclusion that performance sneaking is not being pursued?
And in principle it is not illegal.
Let's just briefly summarize what is happening there:
Netflix offers a customer that they subscribe. This can be canceled every month. In addition, the first month is free so that the new customer can try out the offer. If he likes it, he can keep the subscription, but has to pay for it. If he doesn't like it, he can give notice and there are no costs.
What does the FS do? He registers with Netflix and pretends (deliberately inaccurate) that he is a new customer. In doing so, he enters any wrong personal and bank details. At the end of the trial month, he quits (or doesn't he?) And creates the next account.
When creating the account, the FS is deceiving about its identity, its status as a (new) customer and its willingness to pay (because it was never ready to pay). Netflix provides him with the offer free of charge, trusting in his false levies, even though the FS as a non-new customer should actually be charged for it. This will prevent Netflix from paying the monthly fee. This was also the goal of the FS, because that was what it was all about: not having to pay. Its advantage (free of charge) is the flip side of the disadvantage of Netflix.
So, and now let's read §§ 263, 269 StGB. It is a matter of falsifying evidence-relevant data (providing false data) and fraud (pretending to be a new customer). "Not illegal" seems to me to be a rather negligent answer 😉
Because the judiciary is overwhelmed. Little things are hardly tracked
Well, tell the many illegal drivers who received a criminal order or an indictment for it in 2019 😉
