I'd like to know for the US, UK, and EU.

You are both wrong. Doing so is illegal. |
No, it contradicts the terms and conditions, but not the law.
Whereby this approach:

In answer to your question, nobody - the only way you can share is by giving someone access to your account.

could be a violation of the law.
Thus, all of the conclusions drawn from this are wrong.
The only option Kobo has is to close the account.
Apart from that, I avoid Kobo-Rakuten, among other things because they are not able to produce properly, really reliable devices - unlike Amazon.
However, the last Kobo device I struggled with was a Kobo Glo HD and my experience with Kobo and especially with the updates was: 1 till 3 bugs fixed, 1 till 4 bugs added, but never without errors.
