Sharing Your Netflix Password Will Get You Put In Jail

Have you and a buddy been sharing a Netflix account? Does your girlfriend log in using your information so she can watch Drop Dead Diva? Have you been letting your crew hop on your Rhapsody account so they can check out that phat new 50 Cent joint? Well, if you been doing any of these things, or sharing your password to any other subscription-based media service, you could be sent to jail. No joke. A bill was recently passed in the state of Tennessee making it illegal to share your password for these services with anyone. Not your wife, or brother, or mother, or neighbor, or homeless guy on the street. You share, you pay. According to Poetzerofilm.com, the original bill had first offenders only receiving misdemeanor charges, but repeat offenders would be charged with a felony crime. It sounds absurd, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. The state government in TN has since downgraded secondary offenses to misdemeanors as well, but you will still be serving some jail time and shelling out big bucks in fines.
