They are not that dumb. Apparently the code changes every few minutes (or seconds). Just a matter of time until they also check geolocation and/or IP during the scan.
Actually they probably already have geolocation enabled because the article says the family member needs to be at the same location when they scan the code.
I guess family plans are for members who live at the same house. If someone moves away to college then they can’t be a part of the family anymore.
I mean a simple video call where you share your screen, and some network thing/config might solve that? If they’re not given exact/precise location on eg your phone, will they default to country/city? There must be some workarounds to these silly things.
Take picture of QR on primary phone. Send photo with QR to people on the family plan

Who has that kind of motivation could also just pirate everything
