According to a survey conducted by ed-tech provider Cengage, nearly 65% of students pay their educational expenses entirely by themselves. Along with the burden of student loans, students may also have car payments, phone bills, rent and other expenses. Sharing passwords for streaming services takes a load off their financial expenses.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Here's a sound that may soon be a memory for millions of people.(SOUNDBITE OF NETFLIX STARTUP SOUND)SUMMERS: Netflix plans to end password sharing, and as NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, many fans feel betrayed.NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: It's going to be like that scene in Netflix's "Stranger Things" when the heroes are trying to break into a top-secret facility.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "STRANGER THINGS")DAVID HARBOUR: (As Jim Hopper) Give me the code.ULABY: Your Netflix code, or password, is going to fail.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "STRANGER THINGS")HARBOUR: (As Jim Hopper) The code is wrong.ULABY: There will be havoc. There will be recriminatory phone calls.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "STRANGER THINGS")BRETT GELMAN: (As Murray Bauman) I suppose it could be wrong.HARBOUR: (As Jim Hopper) How could it be wrong?GELMAN: (As Murray Bauman) The code is a number, a famous number.ULABY: But the only number that matters to Netflix is 100 million people. That's how many of us around the world are not paying but watching Netflix anyway. Among them are three people beloved by Michael O'Connor of Ireland. He shares his Netflix password with his mom, his sister and his partner.MICHAEL O'CONNOR: My first response was, I'm probably going to cancel my account.ULABY: O'Connor was already irritated with Netflix. First, he says, it's way more expensive than the other streamers if you're paying for the ad-free tiers. Second, Netflix has a habit of canceling his favorite shows.O'CONNOR: "The OA," "Warrior Nun" - oh, "The Dark Crystal" was really - it's really bad business.(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "THE DARK CRYSTAL: AGE OF RESISTANCE")UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) I see many endings lain before us.ULABY: Previous password sharers will set up their own accounts, predicts Steven Cahall. He's an analyst for Wells Fargo Securities. The pool, he says, of brand-new subscribers has shrunk. And remember; this is not easy for Netflix, either.STEVEN CAHALL: Streaming services actually don't love to crack down on password sharing. They like people engaging with the content.ULABY: He says, try to see things from the point of view of Netflix and their shareholders.CAHALL: What they have to be worried about is a challenging ad market, a rising cost of capital, the decline of pay TV, the rising costs of sports, the slowdown of streaming and a writer's strike.ULABY: Do not be shocked, Cahall says, if other streaming services follow suit. But we may be losing something culturally meaningful, says Jessica Halem. She's 51 with a good job, but she uses her parents' password for HBO - I mean, sorry, Max.JESSICA HALEM: I do not need their financial support. But there's something about the gift - every time I log in to watch something knowing that my parents are paying for it - there's just something really sweet about it, right?ULABY: Just ask Carrie Bradshaw.(SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "SEX AND THE CITY")SARAH JESSICA PARKER: (As Carrie Bradshaw) As soon as I typed in love, there he was.ULABY: It's not uncommon for people to share passwords with their exes, a little intimacy and access into the life of someone you love. Meanwhile, our Irishman, Michael O'Connor, says the whole situation might drive him back to reading.O'CONNOR: (Laughter) The books are usually better anyway.ULABY: And cost nothing to give away.

I haven't been able to log onto Netflix for almost a week now. Keep getting: "Unable to sign in. The account name or password is incorrect. Please try again. (117). Netflix runs fine on other computers, just suddenly not on Apple TV. Otherwise Apple TV is working fine, with iTunes, You Tube, etc. Netflix claims it's an Apple issue. Apple won't discuss without a service contract. I know others have this problem from researching. Tried changing passwords, DNS, restoring, resetting, unplugging, etc. Anyone have a suggestion?
Same issue. Neither Netfix nor Apple are taking ownership. So, we cancelled our netflix subscription, have stopped purchasing any iTunes content, and just took back a Macbook Air we purchased for ourselves and two Apple TVs we purchased for family as gifts. Until they can grow up and find a solution I will not be purchasing any of their products. Apple released an update to Apple TV today (12.16.11) but still not a solution. I get the same 117 error but netflix works on every other piece of hardware we own...
I have found a work around that so far has worked. I changed my passedword for Netflix to all numbers and what do you know I was able to login to all 3 of my Apple TVs in my house. For some reason changing my password to all numbers works and has been all morning.
Doesn't work for me. My password was all numbers to begin with. I even tried changing it to another password with all numbers. I found a suggestion on another threat about rolling back the last ATV update, I'm gonna give that a try.
Click on joshuaerda's comments, and it will take you to his two entries about this problem. When you get to the part about downloading the previous software, he says to press SHIFT, but you have to press OPTION. (actually, that's assuming you have a Mac, don't know about windows). Good luck!
Okay, so I got a little lazy and never actually rolled back my AppleTV software. (I was simply streaming Netflix to the iPad and then mirroring onto the TV via AppleTV - in the hopes that the problem would be solved for me somehow.) However, my husband became proactive and actually called Netflix for a solution - which I had never attempted.
They claimed that my password had recently been reset to "12345" about a week before. Had I been the one calling, I would have explained that no, in fact, I had not reset my password, and that actually I had "re-reset my password" via their website to what it had always been just a couple days before in hopes of fixing the problem.
I guess the "re-reset" to my original password never "communicated" itself to Apple TV, because when they changed the "12345" password at Netflix HQ, everything was fine. (Odd, because the iPad, iPhone, and website all required my original password, not 12345. And shouldn't AppleTV just check-in with Netflix to confirm this password, rather than require its own unique one. Hmmmm...)
MORE INTERESTINGLY - the other day I downloaded the new Netflix update to my iPad and...lo and behold...same error! This time on my iPad. Luckily, I remembered the issue and tried to log in with the 12345 password, success! So for some reason the password associated with certain devices appears to reset itself to 12345 periodically - perhaps when an update is installed. I dunno. Anyway, seems I got lucky.
Called Netflix. Did not have a solution. Your suggestion worked like a charm. Hopefully the next Apple TV update will solve the problem for the many users that do not know your workaround. Many thanks.
I had the same symptoms as most others on this thread. Netflix on apple tv was working fine, then I started getting the (117) error. I tried changing the Netflix password, no luck. I upgraded to apple tv 4.4.4, still didn't work. I called Netflix and apple, and they blamed each other. As crazy as it sounded, I tried using the password to 12345, but it didn't work.
I had the exact same problem. After talking to both Netflix and Apple Support, I tried changing my password by adding one letter, and, lo and behold, it worked like a charm. Hopefully they will fix this glitch so others don't have to go through this nonsense.
Same problem, Apple TV 2 stopped playing some TV episodes that could be played on other devices. Tried the DNS trick, tried changing the password, no change - it still didn't work. For the first time it happened while I was watching a movie. The stream froze, then appeared to be buffering, then I got the Netflix unavailable. If this is so wide spread like it seems, why isn't Apple/Netflix fixing this?
Apple blames Netflix and vice-versa. Neither has an incentive to fix the problem as long as they can blame the other. I'm so frustrated that I may install the XviD Codec and go to peer-to-peer piracy!
There are situations that are more likely than not to be actual violations, such as consistent log-ins to the same account during prime time at several repeating geographic locations within the same city, or daily simultaneous use in different countries or continents. There may exist isolated cases of legitimate use even within these occurrences, but they are hard to imagine and would certainly be in the minority.
Unsupervised learning allows for users with similar viewing habits to be classified into clusters without having to identify those habits in advance. In the example below, 15,100 internet users are grouped into five clusters using 51 usage metrics. As can be seen in Figure 1, not all clusters contain the same number of users. In fact, Clusters 2, 3 and 5 contain only 25 users between them. If this were my data set, I would take a closer look at these clusters to try to understand how they differ from the remaining 15,075 people.
That information may be found in the parallel cord plot below in Figure 2, where each line represents a cluster. Looking at the leftmost extreme of the plot, it seems the three users in Cluster 5, on average, had a larger tot_HO (total hours online) than the users in any of the other clusters, on average. This may be one of the metrics that distinguishes this cluster from the others. There are others as well, as indicated in the portions of the plot where the lines deviate.
