Users of online streaming platforms such as Netflix could be breaking the law by sharing their account with other households, a government agency has said.
In guidance published this week, the IPO said: “Pasting internet images into your social media without permission, or accessing films, tv series or live sports events through Kodi boxes, hacked Fire Sticks or apps without paying a subscription is an infringement of copyright and you may be committing a crime.”
It is up to the streaming service provider to take action through the courts if required, the IPO said.
