Netflix cracks down on password sharing in the US and beyond.

Netflix has begun its password sharing crackdown in the US and other global markets, after a delayed launch. Under the new rules, US subscribers will have to either kick people off their Netflix account or pay $7.99/month for an additional membership for those outside their main household. Similar changes will roll out to dozens of global markets in the coming weeks and months. Despite some early cancellations, Netflix believes the password crackdown will be beneficial to its long-term growth as a business and to its financial health.
