With this whole "you pay for a screen package, love is sharing a password" business they just dug a PR hole for themselves. If they'd had offered price X per screen from the start, then introduced a "same household discount" or whatever, we wouldn't have all this outrage. But execs can only see as far as next quarter and here we are.
