body: After the ruling of [USA v David Nosal](https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2016/07/05/14-10037.pdf) in the Ninth Circuit Court, a news article ["Federal court rules that sharing your Netflix password is a federal crime"](http://fusion.net/story/322602/password-sharing-illegal-rules-federal-court/) indicates that this would give companies additional reason to say that password sharing, breaking ToS, is criminal. While it would be bad publicity for these big media companies (Netflix, HBO), how would a large internet company use the criminal ruling against customers (in the USA) violating the ToS? This is considering beyond specifically closing/canceling the account.
