Again provisional access requires that rules be followed hence why you don't see CIA analysts, investment bankers, or employees selling their access credentials. If you do you face criminal and civil liability. The law of most nations respects this and is codified as statutes under judicial law. You can ignore it, that's fine by me, it doesn't meant you won't face criminal and civil penalties.

Let me give you a different example:

Is it illegal to share a Netflix account?

It is illegal to share account credentials if Netflix's ToS do not permit it and it would be considered theft of service. They may allow for you to use access credentials across multiple devices and IP as long as your subscription account is used by the primary registered user that is the subscriber (account holder).

I do believe though if Netflix observes an account logging in from multiple in different regions that they will limit your logins, restrict simultaneous connections from different regions, and suspend your account for abuse of service if those controls fail to remedy the site abuse. No business wants to lose a legitimate paying customer to churn, if that customer is a good customer (again this is for a different discussion in another topic), but some customer that abuse services will see their account services terminated and may be prosecuted if the abuse is considered so extreme that it would harm the business. A perfect example would be a company re-selling netflix services via proxy (assume a netflix account wasn't limited).
