PASSWORD sharing for Netflix accounts is something that is fairly common among those who use the streaming service, but now the practice could be considered a criminal offence.
According to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) password sharing for streaming accounts may amount to "secondary copyright infringement", as reported by The Metro.
In guidance published this week, the IPO said: "Pasting internet images into your social media without permission, or accessing films, tv series or live sports events through Kodi boxes, hacked Fire Sticks or apps without paying a subscription is an infringement of copyright and you may be committing a crime."
