With nearly a quarter of a billion paid subscribers, Netflix remains the largest video streaming service on the market. The gap between itself and the rest of the field, while closer than ever, still remains wide on the whole. So, when Netflix does something, you'd best bet everyone else will pay attention.
Case in point, password-sharing, specifically, cracking down on the practice.
With the move paying dividends for Netflix, the House of Mouse is following suit by imposing limits on how its users can share accounts between each other. As reported by The Verge, Disney+ users in Canada received an email outlining a new subscriber agreement that includes a new agreement detailing an updated terms section specifically dedicated to account sharing.
In an attempt to curb attempts, the email notes that, beginning November 1, subscribers in Canada can no longer share accounts with users outside their "household."
Simply put, Disney+ now plans to track where you sign in from using your accounts to make sure that all devices live in the same household.
