UK Govt: Netflix Password Sharing is Illegal & Potentially Criminal Fraud

[alimac]

The UK Government's Intellectual Property Office published new piracy guidance today, and it contains a small, easily missed detail. People who share their Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney+ passwords are violators of copyright law. And it gets worse. The IPO informs TorrentFreak that password sharing could also mean criminal liability for fraud.

Strange how you could have 3 accounts on Netflix outside your local network when it started , and now the subscribers are dropping like flies because it's run out of new things to show , and probably skint to do so , shocking shame on them hope everyone dumps them

Sounds a bit like Blockbuster retail , Better places have come and your crap now

They don't realise that alot of people won't subscribe if they can't use shared accounts. They can't afford the high prices or don't watch it enough to warrant the cost. Or they are tight b*stards like me and will just download the shows they are interested in instead for free
