LOS ANGELES — The era of free Netflix password sharing in the U.S. is coming to an end. Netflix on Tuesday began emailing U.S. users who share passwords that either they or their nonhousehold members will need to pay up. Users who share passwords must now pay an additional $7.99 a month for someone outside their household to stream through their accounts, the company said in the email, which Netflix shared in a blog post. If the sharer doesn’t want to pay extra, the password borrower will have to pay for their own membership. “Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with — your household,” reads the Netflix email.
