I'm actually concerned with Netflix interest in "password sharing".

We have the 4 stream account for myself and my 3 kids. They are all in University and so they dont live at home during most of the school year.

The kids "legal" address is my house, but they login from their school's networks.

Is this "unfair sharing"?

Netflix has the concept of a "Netflix household".

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think "legal" address bears any weight here. According to the Netflix definition, they would likely consider your kids to not be part of the same "Netflix household" as you.
