Gosh, if password sharing is going to be illegal, one may as well just subscribe to $piracySiteNo7823672 for the same price and a broader selection of shows. Imagine the audacity in telling people they can't share passwords.

"But it's in the EULA you agree to!"

I don't care. I'll take what I want, when and how I want it. The only decision these companies get is whether I will pay them, or pay a competitor with a superior experience. Netflix was why I stopped pirating movies way back when, and Netflix is why I started pirating again. The same goes for Amazon Prime music; I stopped paying in good faith the moment they started cutting vast swathes of my library out from under me.

Cause, meet effect.

Surely the UK have better things to worry about? Like a cost of living crisis?

I find these types of statements stupid. Do you expect countries to focus on one thing at a time? Is it news that governments/companies have resources dedicated to solving different problems?

It’s not actually a problem though.
