Is it a questionable grey area? sure. Is it illegal however? No. VPNs are not illegal, stealing movies and games is.

But at the end of the day, I am still paying for my services. My VPN membership is 80 bucks a year or something, and I still pay the monthly Netflix fee. Nobody is getting shafted.
Now this is interesting.

Technically the people who license the content are. They are not getting compensated for their Canadian rights to broadcast content in this country.
