The Motion Picture Association-Canada, representing Disney, Netflix and other streamers, is fighting a proposed 5% tax on revenue generated in the country that would be used to finance local news.
People who won’t pirate no matter what happens will just resort to subscribing to whatever service is available to them and watch whatever is on there, I’m 100% sure the government would barely get any complaints. Heck, it wasn’t that long ago that it wasn’t even a choice, your watched what was playing or what you had taken the time to bother and record.
People would turn around and subscribe to Crave, which is Canadian and therefore not affected by the law.
Only if they have content those people are interested in watching.

I found inexpensive IPTV a very acceptable alternative to streaming and expensive pay services.
