It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

Cant you just set things up with a router to tunnel your disney+ connection through a device at your family members house so you streaming from 1500 miles away looks like its coming from their house?

It’s far easier and more performant to simply pirate what you want to watch.

Eh, still need a VPN for that so your ISP cant send you pissy emails about what you're doing.

Easy to vpn on a desktop, download, and put things on Plex.

Harder to setup a vpn tunnel to another house and configure only your tv to use it.

You gave your TV internet access, with how much they are known to spy on you?

Blegh.

I was hoping that Disney wouldn’t join the enshittification club so quickly.
