I admit I haven't watched the issue all that terribly closely. I've never been terribly interested in the legal details, honestly. It'll happen, and the tools necessary to make it happen will be available, regardless of the legality. If I find myself wanting to make a copy, I'll get what I need to do so. I'm not going to start selling pirated movies or music or anything, but as far as I'm concerned, if I paid for it, I can do with it as I please.
The 2 Netflix accounts has more to do with the fact that we each had it before we moved in together than anything else. At that time, it wasn't possible to set up profiles for multiple people on a single account, as it is now, and there's also the fact that we've both got queues numbered in the hundreds, that neither of us wants to take the time and energy to recreate on a new account. Our combined accounts cost cost the same amount as the 6-at-a-time version does (actually, oddly, its 1 cent cheaper), so there's no reason to change it, really.
