Password sharing on streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon and Disney Plus may be illegal, a UK Government body has warned.
The popular practice of sharing passwords to streaming services violates copyright law if the log-in is swapped between those who do not live together, the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) said this week.
It comes amid plans by Netflix to crack down on password sharing in the new year. It will be the first time the streaming giant will attempt to put a stop to the issue as the firm estimates 100 million viewers worldwide are borrowing other people's accounts.
