Disney Plus started sending out the bad news in customer emails yesterday, writes The Verge. The messages highlight changes to the company's terms of service that will...
I mean if you were sharing someone’s password, wouldn’t you already not be paying? If you were paying for an account, you would have your own password so this would not be an issue.
I’m not pointing this out to be “pro Disney” because I couldn’t give a half-shit there, but I always have to remind people that password sharing is bad security and shouldn’t be done.
Haha let me play the world’s smallest violin for your sad situation there.
I have only one home, but I actually did pay for Hulu twice by accident when I realized that 2 of us had an active account. Canceled the extra one immediately so I’m only paying for one. But it was only about $8 per month for a few months, so I didn’t quite starve.
I mean that situation describes almost any student in higher education, along with people in long term relationships who are yet to move in together - frankly those two cases more than likely make up the majority of people with two homes
That’s the thing, it’s usually just the one set of credentials and it has access to everything. Although to be fair they don’t store the actual CC details anymore, just bank tokens.
Then take on yourself to help educate whoever doesn’t create a specific set of credentials to share accounts… But as we said back then - sharing is caring.
What bad habit? Proving entertainment to your loved ones on the house? Because as long as the account is created specifically for the purpose of being shared there’s absolutely no bad habit in that…Being generous is considered cool no?
Back to the pirate life I guess.
Litterally this. I won’t (and most people won’t) feel morally wrong once I stop paying for Disney’s content.

As long as you segregate credentials and whichever service you’re sharing doesn’t expose any critical data like cc info what’s the risk?
