Share Your Password Netflix Will Put You In Jail
If you and the boy has to share a Netflix account? It's your girl log based on information, so you can watch Drop Dead Diva? Have you been told Rhapsody hop crew, so they can verify that the new phat 50 Cent have in common? Well, if you have any of these things, or sharing your password with other subscription-based media services, you can send to jail. No joke.
A bill was recently approved in the state of Tennessee, which makes it illegal to share your password with anyone these services. This is not your wife, or brother, or mother, or neighbor, or a beggar on the street. You share, you pay. According Poetzerofilm.com, the original bill had time offenders receive only minor offenses, but repeat offenders would be charged with a crime a crime. This seems absurd, and we are not alone in thinking. The Tennessee state government has been downgraded to high crimes and misdemeanors, but still serve any jail time and the bombardment of large sums of money in fines.
It is not stated in the article what exactly triggered the legislation, but suspect it has something to do with the music scene of Tennessee wide in order to protect artists against piracy wanting steal their art. The lawmakers also said the bill is to protect users against themselves, mainly because if too many people start sharing accounts, fewer people are subscribing and the companies operating these services will upcharge just for their money. I do not think that the protection of artists, but the point is valid as long as people en masse give their subscription codes.
For now, this bill has only reached the Tennessee, but all legislation must start somewhere. If you share your Netflix account to be notified. Although lawyers do not chase you until the end, if the subscription service a complaint against you, the beautiful people in blue come knocking and you will find in an apartment without a hole in your wallet just unpleasant because Billy Bob wanted to verify that new episode of "Monsters of the River.
Legislation seems a bit 'silly and a bit' more than a waste of time considering Netflix seems to be doing pretty well, but the law has moved cautiously password. They can lead to prison.
