As a long-time gamer and Disney enthusiast, I find myself torn between two worlds as Disney+ announces its crackdown on password sharing. On one hand, I understand the need for companies to protect their intellectual property and ensure fair compensation for content creators. However, as someone who has shared my Netflix account with friends and family for years, this news hits close to home.
Disney+ is adopting a strategy similar to Netflix by implementing measures against unauthorized account sharing.
According to Variety, the option for subscribers to share their Disney+ accounts with friends and family residing outside their household is now accessible in regions like the US, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. In a message sent to customers, Disney clarified that a Disney+ subscription is intended for use within a household, defined as devices connected to the primary personal residence used by those who live there. Individuals not residing with the account holder will need to sign up for their own subscription or be added as an additional user at an extra monthly fee to keep accessing Disney+.
For individuals who are currently traveling or have changed their permanent residence, they can still enjoy Disney+ by choosing either the “I’m Away from Home” or “Update My Household” option.
In the coming days, it’s anticipated that the streamer’s paid-sharing options will influence both Hulu (owned by Disney) and ESPN+, as they have recently amended their U.S. subscription agreements to clarify that account password sharing is prohibited.
