So you thought you could get away with it. Not so fast! Netflix is testing a new way to crackdown on password sharing. According to Variety, Netflix will see if giving primary account holders the opportunity to pay an extra fee to allow other users outside their household access to the account. The company claims that the sharing between households is “impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.”

Here are the details about the new test plan Netflix is implementing:

OK, before you start trying to figure out how many of your friends and family are sharing your Netflix password, this “paying a bit more” plan is being tested in Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru. You can breathe a sigh of relief. Netflix plans to roll out this test in a few weeks. We will wait and see if it gets the desired results.

10 Fictional Places from TV and Movies We Wish We Could Visit

• Emerald City

  Share

  Emerald City is certainly magical, but the journey along the yellow brick road is half the experience.

• Dillon, Texas

  Share

  Sure, there's plenty of drama in Dillon, but taking in a Friday night football game would be an incredible experience. At the end of the day, the mood could be summed up in two words: Texas forever.

• Springfield

  Share

  Wherever Springfield is in the United States, it's definitely worth a visit. From Krustylu Studios to Moe's Tavern, there's something in Springfield for everyone.
• Pawnee, IN

  Share

  Pawnee is seemingly the biggest-little town in Indiana. They have nightlife (Snakehole Lounge, Cozy's Bar), they have plenty of restaurants (JJ's Diner, Tom's Bistro), they have...well...beautiful parks! Oh, and they have some of the best government workers ever, Jeremy Jamm excluded.

• Monstropolis

  Share

  The whimsical Monstropolis is the setting of 'Monsters, Inc." Truth be told, one of the big reasons to visit Monstropolis is to dine at Harryhausen's, if only because it's SO exclusive!

• Stars Hollow, CT

  Share

  All of the town festivals! All of the town characters! A visit to Stars Hollow would be amazing for people-watching alone. Of course, a meal at Luke's Diner or Al's Pancake World would be a must.
• Gilligan’s Island

  Share

  Seemingly filled with unlimited resources (or at least supplies to make coconut cream pies), Gilligan's Island would be a blast to visit, particularly in the Minnow's crew and passengers were still there.

• Wakanda

  Share

  There are many wondrous settings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but perhaps the most stunning of them all is the Kingdom of Wakanda. It truly is an unbelievable nation, from its economy to its educational system. If only Wakanda were real...

• Radiator Springs

  Share

  Radiator Springs may be off the beaten path of Route 66, but their hospitality is second to none.
• Themyscira/Paradise Island

  Share

  Who wouldn't want to visit the home of Wonder Woman?! Those Amazons are amazing!
