It's not illegal per se Martin, comes under the Netflix 'account sharing' rules. It is however an infringement of their terms and conditions, in that account sharing is meant for members of the same household, or at a stretch people from that household living elsewhere, like a student. Selling on accounts is most certainly a breach and I wouldn't do it personally.

It could possibly be considered fraud, or Theft under section 16 (a person who by any deception dishonestly obtains for himself or another any pecuniary advantage shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years) I doubt anyone would be interested in prosecuting that - but that offence is for the account seller, rather than the end user. I would still steer well clear of it though, wouldn't fancy being called as a witness!, but each to their own.

All I can add André is that I think it's worth the money, I pay £5.99 a month for a basic package and one licensed user, worth every penny IMO, especially as I can download content to my tablet and watch it whilst travelling. Just trial it free for 30 days, which is long enough to decide if it's worth it. You aren't locked into a contract either, if you decide after 3 months it's not for you, you can leave without penalty.

There's more on there than I can ever hope to watch and it fills the gap for me not having a TV or paying the BBC, who I don't wish to support. I rarely find things to watch on the Beeb, but there's always something which appeals on Netflix, for half the price of a TV licence.
