Disney CFO Hugh Johnston reportedly elaborated a bit about this plan on an investors call earlier this week. “As it relates to the opportunity we see on paid sharing, beginning this summer Disney+ accounts suspected of improper sharing will be presented with new capabilities to allow their borrowers to start their own subscriptions,” Johnston said.
The Disney+ password-sharing crackdown began in September in Canada, where subscriber terms were updated to enforce banning the practice. Last year Netflix also started prohibiting password-sharing, which then led to a huge growth in subscribers for the streaming company.
Meanwhile, Disney+ just lost 1.3 million subscribers after a price hike happened in December. Johnston said boosts to membership growth from new password-sharing rules probably wouldn’t be seen until the second-half of this year.
Yesterday, Disney also unveiled a “persistent universe” tied to Fortnite is in the works, alongside a $1.5 billion investment for Epic Games.
