According to an analysis produced by Parks Associates, about one-third of internet users stream cable TV by using the login credentials of someone they don’t live with. The firm estimated that password sharing would cost the cable industry $3.5 billion this year and as much as $9.9 billion by 2021.
While cable companies and networks that rely on subscribers to generate revenue, streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube have accepted password sharing as a simple matter of fact. Most streaming platforms allow simultaneous streams as part of the price that its customers pay monthly.
