Disney Cracks Down on Password Sharing

Streaming Giant to Enforce Account Sharing Rules

Password-hopping freeloaders on the streaming service Disney will face the music starting in September.

The streaming provider has announced that it will begin cracking down on account sharing, a practice that has become increasingly common in recent years. Currently, multiple people can share a single Disney account, but the company is now putting a stop to this.

In a move similar to that of Netflix earlier this year, Disney will implement measures to identify and prevent password sharing. This means that account holders will only be able to share their passwords with people who live in their household.

The new policy will go into effect on September 1st, and users who violate the rules may have their accounts suspended or terminated. Disney has not yet announced what specific measures it will use to enforce the policy, but it is likely that it will use a combination of IP address tracking and device fingerprinting.

The crackdown on password sharing is a significant change for Disney, which has previously allowed users to share their accounts with friends and family members. However, the company is likely facing pressure from copyright holders to take action against piracy.

The new policy is sure to be met with resistance from some users, but it is likely that Disney will ultimately be successful in enforcing it. The company has a long history of cracking down on piracy, and it has the resources to do so.
