    until people start burning down service Canada locations

    Maybe a decade ago when Netflix was actually highly-regarded and held a near-monopoly on streaming video.

    Today with the massive balkanisation of streaming video, and with Netflix developing a reputation for cancelling good shows and producing poor-quality adaptations? I think most people would post a couple of angry Facebook comments and then move on.

      The lack of availability of legal channels to obtain media does not generally stop the availability of said media to the average consumer, especially in a country with high tech permeance.

        Streaming is legal in Canada, regardless of the legality if the hosts. Moreover, we have precedent in Canada that tops off your fines for illegal downloading at about $500 for all previous non-commercial infringements of any kind, which means any suits brought against Canadians are at a loss before you even have a meeting with their lawyers.

      Yeah Netflix just kicked me off their service last month by completely discontinuing the service level I was willing to pay for, and then had the audacity to send me 4 follow up emails asking if I’d “changed my mind”. I would still be subscribed to Netflix if it wasn’t for (checks notes) Netflix.

      The days of Netflix valuing their customers are over. Welcome to enshittification.
