Netflix users could inadvertently land in hot water next week, simply watching a new show on the platform.
And if they catch them violates the rules, it could technically mean a fine of £ 1,000.

The popular streaming platform launches a brand new live program on Thursday, everyone live with John Mulaney.
It serves as the first talk show Live Show of the company and comes in the middle of a growing number of live events.
Earlier this year, Netflix took over the right to show WWE, which drastically expanded the number of live broadcasts on the platform.
Last year, they saw a number of big live events such as Jake Paul against Mike Tyson.
Before live shows began to appear, Netflix was quite safe from TV licensing because the fee only applies to all live shows.
But with that – and now everyone lives with John Mulaney – it is a new risk of viewers who can be without TV licenses and forget that they are legally needed for such programs.
Fortunately, everyone live with John Mulaney broadcast live from the USA 22:00 ET, which is in the UK 2 in the morning, so the chances that the British are watching in that hour is quite low.
TV licensing previously repeated the rules of the Sun last year before Netflix’s Jake Paul against Mike Tyson Fight.
“The TV license is needed to watch live content on streaming services, watching or shooting a TV program on any channel and when using the BBC iPlayer,” the tail said at the time.
“Further information is available on the website for Licenses TV or through a user -services team that can help with any inquiries.”
If you use Netflix or any other streaming platform like Prime to watch inanimate content, then you are well without TV license, until you watch BBC iPlayer.
When do you need a TV license?
What are the rules of TV license?
Jamie Harris, Assistant Editor of Technology and Science at The Sun, explains:
The TV license currently costs £ 169.50.
Some mistakenly believe you need a TV license only if you have a TV or watch BBC channels.
Do not violate the law if you own a TV without a license, until it is hooked on air or other live broadcasting equipment – so you can use it with your PS5 to play, for example.
The basic principle is that if you approach any live broadcast from any channel, whether it is a TV or online, you have to have a TV license.
If you shoot a live broadcast you will watch later, you also need a TV license.
Looking at the content content does not require a TV license – unless you watch BBC iPlayer.
