      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.
