Canadian bill to crack down on illegal downloads has VPN providers excited

Sounds much nicer already.

See, y'gotta always look on the bright side.

Canadians can sell us Americans their cheap prescription drugs, and we can sell them VPN services to, uh, negotiate the complexities of their new downloading legislation.

The system works!

Actually, we already are several canadians who use such services to either watch amazon prime, hulu or the US version of netflicks.

Yes, but the most popular ones aren't full VPNs but simply DNS servers that redirect key services to proxies.
