Please show your wife this thread here on PACELINE.

When you are old and nearing the end, have your executor know where all your passwords are hidden.

Man. I don't know where this moral high ground is coming from. If you don't want to share, that's another issue, but honestly, it's not that different from lending a dvd or a BOOK to a friend unless you're all streaming at the same time. (and even then, remember the days of making mix audio tapes / VHS? )

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has said on many occasions, share!

“We love people sharing Netflix whether they’re two people on a couch or 10 people on a couch,,” Hastings said. “That’s a positive thing, not a negative thing.”

Amazon has a "teen" account (from the family plan) you can set up for your sister in law if you want to restrict access.

fwiw, you can not add a new address and pay with existing credit cards, so your MIL/SIL won't be able to order stuff to their houses using your credit cards.

However at the end of the day, it's your Prime account. If they want Prime Video so badly, they can either get their own account, or offer to pay for half of yours.

teach them how to use torrents.

i share my prime account with my brother. he has his credit card info on it and he selects that when he buys things, and i have mine.
(i also share a netflix account with some friends, so take that as you will)

i guess to me it's not a big deal whatsoever.

I take it as theft of services.

I see it as theft too. I always like to look at things in a manor of what would I do? Would I ever ask someone for their password so I could steal content? Hell no. So I would not expect that from anyone else either and if I got it anyway the answer would be no.

Talk about the gall that some people have... A buddy of mine was in Lowes the other day, a Vietnam vet who was wearing his 100th Airborne hat, and this women approached him and asked him if he could be with her when she bought this riding mower so she could get a military discount. I mean really?
