Disney will Take Steps to Prevent Sharing of Disney+ Passwords

Sep. 8, 2019

You must be wondering what a cable company probably has to do with how people use streaming services. Well, Charter has signed a deal with Disney, the company which is in the final round of preparations for releasing itsDisney+ streaming servicelater this year, under which US consumers will be able to buy Disney services such as Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+ (when it launches) through Carter, and both the brands will work together to ensure people don’t share passwords.

“Disney and Charter have also agreed to work together on piracy mitigation. The two companies will work together to implement business rules and techniques to address such issues as unauthorized access and password sharing.”,reads thepress release.

Until now, other streaming services like Netflix and Prime Video didn’t really take any legal actions against people sharing accounts. In fact, they were totally fine with account sharing as you can infer from the below tweet by Netflix India.

We’ll have to wait to see if this move by Disney will impact the strategies taken by other streaming services. So, what are your thoughts regarding this situation? Let us know in the comments.
