The UK Govt Declares Netflix Password Sharing is Illegal
To enable friends and family members to access the content on the streaming service, many Netflix subscribers worldwide give them access to their account’s password. However, the UK’s Intellectual Property Office (IPO) warned that Netflix password sharing behavior could lead to criminal proceedings being brought against such users.
Statement of IPO Guidelines
Password sharing for streaming accounts may constitute secondary copyright violations, according to the IPO. As part of its intensified efforts to get renegade Netflix subscriptions to pay up, Netflix has indeed stated that it will begin charging users for password sharing beginning in the following year.
