MoviePass Changes TOS To Prevent You From Seeing the Same Movie More Than Once (engadget.com)

MoviePass has changed its terms of service to prevent subscribers from seeing the same movie more than once. First spotted by iMore, the new limitation will apply to all subscribers, new and existing. MoviePass' website says, "We recently updated our Terms of Service to reflect that MoviePass subscribers are only permitted to see a select movie in theaters once with your MoviePass. We hope this will encourage you to see new movies and enjoy something different!" Engadget reports: This isn't the first time the company has done this, however. It limited users to seeing titles just once in its earlier days as well and CEO Mitch Lowe said the rule's reinstatement is to cut down on fraud. "When we took that policy down, we saw some people turning MoviePass into a cottage industry, standing in front of a theater selling their tickets to Star Wars, or whatever," he told The Hollywood Reporter. Lowe also said that new features are in the works including couples plans and options that include 3D and IMAX movies.

I hear you. I have a friend who keeps dragging me to the theaters. I go because they value it, but I hate the movie experience compared to my home theater.

I'd rather sit at home being able to drink what I want, pause the movie, adjust the volume, rewind, be guaranteed to get the best seat, turn on/off CC, and go the bathroom on my terms, instead of paying for an over-priced ticket.

This is NOT about preventing people from watching the same movie twice. It is to discourange multiple people from sharing the same movie pass.
