As long as you stream you are fine. If you download you are in violation of copyright.

Canada's Copyright Act prohibits unauthorized downloading of copyrighted content. But viewers using a loaded Android box are only streaming, not downloading material.

"Streaming falls a little bit into that grey area," said internet law expert Michael Geist.

That's because streaming video could be considered a "transient, temporary display," he says.

"It's called the Copyright Act for a reason, and, of course, there are questions as to whether or not a copy or infringing copy is even being made in a streaming context," said the University of Ottawa professor.

Copyright lawyer Ariel Thomas of the firm Fasken Martineau in Ottawa agrees. "Receiving a stream, in itself, isn't something targeted by the Copyright Act," she said.
