Nonetheless, this black market industry is growing globally, and it's catching on with Canadians. A recent study found that 6.5 per cent of North American households have accessed a pirated live TV subscription. (YouTube/Honest Fred's) suggests that 6.5 per cent of North American households have accessed a pirated live TV subscription. The report was done by Sandvine in Waterloo, Ont., a broadband equipment company that tracks home internet usage.

It studied anonymous home internet traffic from thousands of Canadian and U.S. Internet providers during the month of September. Sandvine spokesperson, Dan Deeth, says because these pirated TV services demand a fee, they pose 'a real threat' to Canada's cultural industries. That's because if Canadians are paying the pirates, they may have less money to put toward legitimate TV services. 'That money is not going into the pockets of people who worked hard to make the content,' he says 'This is money being paid to people who have literally stolen content.'

The lure of pirated TV Deeth says if left unchecked, the threat will continue to grow given the appeal of these cheap — although unauthorized — TV services. 'It's basically designed to replicate your cable experience,' he says. The services are also easy to use. They function as IPTV — Internet Protocol television — where users stream the content from the internet onto their TVs, often with the aid of a set-top box. 'Basically, [the pirates are] stealing signals from around the world, digitizing them, and putting them online,' says Deeth. The pirates often refer to their service as IPTV - Internet Protocol television - where TV content is delivered over the internet.

Many websites boast about the multiple channels they offer and cut-rate prices. They also include a page where customers can sign up and pay, often by PayPal, Bitcoin, or credit card.
