Ah, another service that I would happily pay for, but cannot for being Canadian.

PIRACY IT IS!

It's even less likely to come to Europe, so … unfortunately you're right.

People use pre-paid credit cards and an IP unblocker to get past the IP Wall.

It's kind of ridiculous how much more stuff is on US Netflix and HuluPlus compared to Canadian Netflix.

I wonder how many roadblocks they've put into the way for signing up on Hulu Plus from Canada? You might need a US iTunes account as well to get the app.

The problem in Canada is that the major ISPs own the Canadian distribution rights to many of these popular programs. There is no incentive for them to provide them over the internet because they:

A. Want to reduce their network bandwidth costs

B. Want you to pay for their TV services in which to watch said programming
