This message is justified because of language in streaming app’s terms of service which states that your account “may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.” And if you don’t already know, some folks are defining “household” in a looser way than Netflix does.

Netflix is going to offer users in this test the ability to add up to two “subsidiary” accounts for users who don’t live in the same household as the person who pays for the account. The accounts are meant to make it easier to legally stream Netflix, and not pay a full account’s worth.
