Let's be honest — sharing Netflix , Hulu , or other streaming service passwords is commonplace among friends and family in today's age. A law in Tennessee , however, is making it illegal to do just that. According to a previous article by Business Insider , t he law was created in the hope of curbing illegal music streaming and, surprisingly, the rise of illegal movie streaming from services like Netflix.
It aims to target individuals who hack into thousands of Netflix accounts, obtain their passwords, and sell them in bulk for a profit. Netflix's policy on password sharing simply states that if anyone with access to your account violates their terms of service, you will be held responsible for their actions.
