This just hit the net today. Wondering how Verizon is going to handle this with shared plans that were able to connect to the Disney bundle for free with your plan. I'm on my sons plan and the bundle has been free to both locations over the past year, due to the plan we purchased. If the password blocking is true, then all those who have shared plans which are at different locations will no longer be able to get this for free. Now will have to pay for the service. It might be time to change carriers.
Time to alert your friends and family members who have access to your Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ accounts. The House of Mouse is officially putting those dastardly U.S.-based customers who dare share their passwords on notice. Netflix already started cracking down on password sharing last year, so it was only a matter of time before other streaming services followed suit.
If you’re paying monthly for the privilege of watching all your favorite Pixar movies or the latest season of The Bear, then by March 14, Disney will restrict your account to you and your immediate household.
Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ Set to Crack Down on Password Sharing
Hulu customers received an email late Wednesday notifying them the company was “adding limitations on sharing your account outside of your household, and explaining how we may assess your compliance with these limitations.” These updates to the company’s subscriber agreement read, “You may not share your subscription outside of your household,” in which the word “household” refers to the “primary personal residence” and all those people who live there. Disney owns a controlling share of Hulu and eventually plans to merge both into one giant homunculus of a streaming app.
your thoughts if you share a plan, but live in another location....
