Netflix And HBO Border-Hopping: Is Anyone Getting Caught?

On any given night, thousands of Canadians are breaking the rules set out by Netflix and other online video streaming services.

They're watching content restricted to other countries, such as the original Star Trek series or Skyfall — the latest James Bond movie, available on Netflix U.S. but not in Canada.

The globetrotters are aided by a growing number of unblocking companies that provide the tools to sneak across virtual borders.

People around the world are signing up, especially those in countries with limited program selection.
