TENNESSEAN: State legislators in country music's capital have passed a revolutionary assess that would make it a crime to use a friend's login - even with permission - to listen to songs or watch movies from services such as Netflix and Rhapsody.
Gov. Bill Haslam has signed the bill which takes effect on July 1,2011. The bill was supported by recording industry functionaries to try to stop the expiration of billions of dollars to outlaw music sharing. They hope other states will chase after.
The legislation was aimed at hackers and thieves who sell passwords in bulk, but its admirers accept it could be applied against people who use a friend's or relative's subscription.
While those who share their subscriptions with a next of kin or other family members under the same roof almost definitely have nothing to panic, obvious criminals say, college students who give their logins to everyone on their dormitory floor could get in trouble.
