Share account with streaming services
A person has signed a subscription contract with Disney +, and friends and relatives use it. "Account sharing" is the name of this practice, which actually violates the provider's terms and conditions, but saves users a lot of money. How will Disney Plus handle the theme?
Streaming providers actually prohibit account sharing based on terms and conditions. Most streaming providers can access multiple devices with one account, but this is usually limited to devices in the same home. As a result, children and parents can broadcast live at the same time, but sharing of accounts with friends is prohibited. To make matters worse, violations of this rule may lead to termination, including claims.

Disney + allows up to 7 end devices and 4 simultaneous streams and is ordered on an annual and monthly basis. Of course, this is the ideal starting point for account sharing. Disney also knows this, but the streaming service seems to have handled the situation relatively loosely or confidently. Back in November 2019, Disney streaming boss Michael Paull told The Verge:
"Password sharing is definitely something we consider … We believe consumers will see this value, and they will act accordingly … They will use these accounts for families, families. Say, we do know that password sharing already exists And will continue to exist. "

After all, this is in line with Disney's strategy, and Californians are very confident about the price. The monthly subscription costs only 6.99 euros and the annual subscription costs 69.99 euros. On the other hand, Netflix's basic subscription costs 7.99 (one stream), while the equivalent premium subscription costs 15.99 euros (four streams at the same time). As a result, Disney + costs less than half while trying to win market share with good content.
