I believe they only care about concurrent IPs, not concurrent use in general. If the IP is the same for all downloads then I don't think they'll send you a warning. Just make sure the VPN clients have a killswitch though.
They go by a '2 strikes in a week' system to account for accidental misuse. If they see 2 IPs used at once then they'll reset your API key and tell you they'll block your account if you do it again in the next 7 days.
I pay for 2 accounts personally because it's still far cheaper than watching things 'the proper way'.
Yeah and I think I'll go by paying for multiple accounts too. I don't really mind paying for the convenience, it was just my pirate mind wanting to think about workarounds and hearing what people do.
You're talking about pirating the pirates though. RD is so cheap compared to a streaming subscription and essentially free given the amount of content it provides. Stremio is user friendly enough for anyone to use. Just pay for the extra subs.
I actually completely agree with you, I probably won't be setting up plex debrid anytime soon. I was more curious as I mentioned. I will happily pay for the convenience aswell as the service for RD.
To be fair, pirating a service you would otherwise not pay for (regardless of source) doesn't effect their revenue stream and therefore would be considered ethical piracy. Pirating content from pirates is perfectly fine.
