Did you know that on January 2, 2015, Canada enacted the Copyright Modernization act otherwise known as the Digital Piracy Law?

What does this mean to you?

If you download any copyrighted materials such as:


Music	Movies	TV Shows

You can be liable for a fine of up to $5000

What can you do?

You can do one of two things:

Downloading Music, movies, TV shows, Games or Apps. It is not a matter of if you will get notification of illegal downloads, it is a matter of when. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay $5000 for downloading a few songs. It doesn’t matter if you ended up buying them because you liked them, the fact that you downloaded them without payment is against the law.

Protect your identity and protect yourself from a $5000 fine by spending just a few dollars a month to use a trusted VPN service. A good VPN service will allow you to download whatever you want anonymously without fear of getting a dreaded notice about illegal downloads. And as an added bonus, if you are a Netflix subscriber, you can access US based Netflix with many more movies and programs available than anywhere else in the world, including Canada.

If you live in Canada and want to continue to download content for free, I strongly urge you to consider a good VPN service. We have great discounts available on this site for many of the top VPN services but the one I recommend highly (and personally have used for over a year now) is Torguard. And as luck has it, we currently have a great promo code for Torguard giving you 50% off. I suggest signing up for a year since that gives you the best price – at 50% off it works out to only $2.49 per month. Pretty cheap price to pay compared to a $5000 fine!
