The International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) has once again called out Canada for being a magnet for piracy, where piracy sites are free to operate and downloaders are free to download unauthorized content without fear of retribution.

The best damn country in the World, and right now the frikkin COLDEST too!! Only -56C yesterday, with wind chill, downright tropical in comparison today " -26...guess I better d`load a movie for tonight since I`m sure as hell not going anywhere.
As a Canadian I feel it's within my duty and right to say, "Deal with it,". If you actually made all programming easily available and affordable to our country as you do your own citizens then Canadian's likely to pirate would likely be cut in half. The same issue Japan had with it's manga and animation, as corporations over there realized: holy farking crap there's a market in the west for that!?
You want someone to blame look in the mirror for your constant theft of your own artists to appease a bunch of men in suits that do nothing but play blame game and come up with nothing feasible to help make content readily available via multiple sources to limit need of piracy. You sirs are the thieves and will always be until the US decides they had enough of your bs and disband what useless groups you are.

Those stupid Canadians and there rights not to be sued for stupid amounts of cash from mostly U.S. companies. I am proud to be Canadian. Just them saying piracy is twice as much, how so? The U.S. has more people living there a total of 4.44% of the world lives there. For Canada 0.49% yeah that's it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population
Not Canadian but props to Canada! These people have got to get over it and move on. The days of their having a death grip on distribution are GONE. If they can't find new ways to earn (other than suing regular folks for millions they don't have)they need to go away. This is natural selection at work right before our eyes!
5 years ago when I was visiting some relatives in Toronto I was taken to a flea market. They even recharge your prepaid set top boxes at a fraction of the what it would cost otherwise.
