Sharing your Netflix account is officially now a criminal offence
If you’re one of the many people that share their Netflix password well you’re breaking the law.

According to the Intellectual Property Office password sharing for streaming accounts may amount to secondary copyright infringement’.

Disney+ does not allow users to share their password with other households, while Amazon Prime customers can share their account with one other person.

Their statement on this topic:
When you share a password, you are giving someone else access to your account and any sensitive information that may be associated with it such as financial information, personal documents, and other sensitive data. Furthermore, many people are still using the same password for multiple accounts which could potentially put those accounts at risk of compromise as well.

This soon will apply to people in the same house hold as well. Netflix lost many subscribers that’s probably one of the reasons

If they believe I pay more, they're smoking that good stuff to make such bad decisions.

Sharing passwords with a friend is something I could never understand.

i just visited their website. In 2023, they are going to start charging people more $$$ for using a Netflix account on multiple devices in the same home lol

EDIT: lmfao look at this: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/24926

Their dumb standard plan only lets you watch on two separate devices at the same time. if three or more people want to use Netflix, you have to get a premium account and pay more

A Netflix account is for people living in the same household. I would not want to share our account with someone else. It is not exactly expensive so people should pay for the services they use or stop watching.

People don't understand that Netflix is pressured by the production companies who own the content, to ensure that they do licensing properly. When you purchase Netflix, you purchase a license to watch the content in YOUR household. Netflix uses modern device verification mechanisms to identify the household to which the account belongs to.

Streaming in other households, even if the account owner is present, is unlicensed streaming.

Can't wait to see those annoying streaming subscription pieces of junk go bankrupt.
Wasn't Netflix in a pretty bad shape lately?
Can't wait to see them all disappear.
Actually SELL me good stuff if you can make it, otherwise don't bother me and don't plague the market with your stupid streaming BS.
