They will when I cancel the service, acquire the content using some alternative methods and make it available to my brother and mother on my Plex server.

I mostly pay for the convenience. Make it inconvenient and I'll use my time to make it work my way.

I can agree with you on principle, but they're not making it any more inconvenient. Literally nothing changes except the price.

I'm travelling for work from time to time as well, having my Chromecast With Google TV ask me to authenticate each time because it doesn't recognize the network as my "home" is inconvenient. Plex doesn't do this, so it wins on that end.

So having multiple separate accounts isn't any more inconvenient? It's not like they offer a pricing where you can have multiple households.

Umm, this is exactly what they are implementing. $7.99 per additional household, billed to the primary households account.
