The Walt Disney Company has taken a page from the Netflix playbook by starting a crackdown on password sharing in Canada at its Disney Plus streaming service.
The crackdown, which began November 1, was outlined in an email sent to Canadian users in September. The company announced restrictions to the ability of subscribers to share their accounts or login credentials outside of their households, according to an Associated Press (AP) report. An updated Canadian subscriber agreement noted that users cannot share a subscription outside of their household unless permitted by their account tier, and that violators could see their Disney Plus service limited or terminated, the AP report added.
