A new ruling from the Paris Judicial Court sends a clear message: unauthorized password-selling schemes are not legitimate subscription-sharing services. The court found that Spliiit facilitated the unauthorized sharing of streaming service credentials, validating concerns raised by ACE members Apple, Disney, and Netflix. The decision reinforces an important distinction between personal password sharing platforms that profit from selling access to subscription accounts. Credential abuse doesn't just impact streaming platforms. It undermines the legal marketplace, exploits creative works, and creates risks for consumers who may be misled about the legality of these services. ACE remains focused on protecting consumers, supporting legitimate content services, and safeguarding the millions of jobs that depend on a thriving creative economy.
