In all likelihood, we all may have broken the law without realizing it.
Simply by streaming our favorite movie.
Surprising as it may seem, password sharing on streaming platforms is a federal offense, but is done regularly.
But that is indeed one of the many surprising things which is, in fact, illegal.
