Netflix is starting to raise prices in some countries as growth spurred by its crackdown on password sharing starts to fade.

The film and TV streaming giant said it had already lifted subscription fees in Japan and parts of Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa over the last month.

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.

In its latest results, Netflix announced that it had added 5.1 million subscribers between July and September - ahead of forecasts but the smallest gain in more than a year.

    Only use torrents if you know what you’re doing. In the developed world, this usually ends with a very expensive letter in your mailbox.

      You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.

        How does that get around paying? You don’t pay for the clients but their servers.

          Whoops! I forgot to mention that I have a tech friend that gave me a free profile/account that I use with the OpenVPN client.

      I guess Canada must be undeveloped, cause I’ve never seen one of those “expensive letters” in my mailbox
