Disney+ is the latest streaming service to announce that it will begin cracking down on password sharing in Canada next month.<\/p>\n
MobileSyrup<\/em> reports that the streaming service sent its Canadian subscribers an email regarding to new information in its Subscriber Agreement, with one of the updates explicitly stating that “Unless otherwise permitted by your Service Tier, you may not share your subscription outside of your household.” It clarified that the term \u201cHousehold\u201d means “the collection of devices associated with your primary personal residence that are used by the individuals who reside therein” and there may be more usage rules for different subscription tiers.<\/p>\n “We may, in our sole discretion, analyze the use of your account to determine compliance with this Agreement. If we determine that you have violated this Agreement, we may limit or terminate access to the Service and\/or take any other steps as permitted by this Agreement (including those set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement),” the email continued. “All of this takes effect across Canada on November 1st, with the exception of annual subscribers in Quebec, for whom the updated Subscriber Agreement will be effective on their next billing date, on or after November 1st, 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n Disney+ is following in the footsteps of Netflix, which started its crackdown earlier this year with an additional fee for password sharing in the United States. It remains to be seen whether this new rule will be implemented globally.<\/p>\n
