Disney+ streaming service is preparing a major crackdown on customers who share their login details with non-paying people. Originally, the service was supposed to do so at the beginning of next year, but one country is reporting the launch two months earlier. In November, the subscription price will also be adjusted in many countries.
Disney has taken inspiration from the world’s largest streaming service, Neflix, and is starting to limit the sharing of login information. Information about the start of the purge comes from Canadian subscribers who have already received an email confirming the fact that the possibility of sharing passwords ends on November 1st. In connection with this change, there is also an adjustment to the terms of service.
They are at a huge loss
“Unless otherwise permitted by your subscription level, you may not share your login information outside of your household. Household means a set of devices that are connected to the address of your permanent residence and that are used by permanent members of the household,” he explains in the updated terms.
Although the upcoming restriction only affects Canada for now, it is more than certain that it will not end in Canada. The company’s new policy will undoubtedly spread to other countries around the world. When Netflix made a similar move, it saw a rapid increase in the number of subscribers. Disney is now trying to do something similar.
The service will increase prices in Slovakia as well
Streaming services are struggling with poor financial results, which were mostly evident in the third quarter of this year. Disney reported a loss of $512 million, which was a huge impetus for top management to implement defense mechanisms as quickly as possible.
To increase the price will also happen in Slovakia. From November 1, you will pay €9.99 per month instead of €7.99. The option to buy a 12-month subscription for the price of ten months still remains. However, its price will rise to €99.90.
