The letter of the rule is so byzantine. I just stayed at a place that had some elses hulu account hooked up still. It asked me incredulously about my IP then I dismissed the message and just used that account since the remote is such a painful ui/ux for relogging in. Per the terms, this poor sap and everyone else who forgot about their hulu account signed into some airbnb is subject to service termination.

other services (Youtube, Netflix etc) have a feature where you can log other devices out. hulu doesn't have this?

Hulu has the ability to do this[0]. The problem is (from having encountered this with a Netflix account by someone else) that most people tend to not log out their device remotely when they forget to do it locally in the first place.

What's Byzantine about it?

That person has to log out, or Hulu can log them out remotely, or Hulu can cancel the subscription and stop getting paid (doubtful).
