Do you have a friend that mooches off of you? Ya know, the "Hey, can I borrow 5 bucks" person. Here's another common one, "Can I borrow your Netflix password?" Well, perhaps you want to rethink giving them your password, even if YOU are OK with it.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last week ruled that sharing online passwords is a crime prosecutable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. In Judge Stephen Reinhardt’s dissenting opinion, he noted the ruling could impact the likes of Netflix and HBO members, as well as other consensual password sharing.
The good news is...Netflix doesn't really seem to care... Netflix Password Sharing Illegal
