Netflix users who have been sharing their passwords with friends and family members who live hundreds – or even thousands – of kilometres away won’t be able to do so for much longer, as the streaming service announced its plans to end password sharing.
Some CTV News Toronto viewers, who shared passwords with family and friends, say they have already been blocked from the service. They said messages popped up on their screen when they tried to use their account, saying, “Netflix is no longer available on this receiver.”
“The company is facing more competition than it has in past years, and they are spending tens of billions of dollars to try and bring new movies and TV shows to Netflix, and the company just can't afford to maintain the status quo," Levy said.
