Submission + - Pirate Party of Canada Starts VPN for Freedom (slipslurp.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The Pirate Party of Canada has announced that it will extend a VPN originally set up to allow people in Tunisia to browse freely while internet censorship was imposed there. Canada may soon be added to that list since the ruling Conservative Party has vowed to introduce a bill hat would provide unprecedented systematic interception and monitoring of Canadians’ personal communications. So the Pirate Party of Canada has announced it will extend that service to Canadians.

Fellow Canadians, you know you can get a VPN subscription for ~$5/month so you can access Hulu et al. eh? I do this with MLB.tv so I can watch the Blue Jays' games since they're all blacked out nationwide. Everything else I just torrent and stream from my PC to my 360/PS3 using TVersity. Works like a charm. Used to watch stuff exclusively on my PC, but recently upgraded to a 50" plasma and my god there is no going back. I can't stand non-HD content any more. I'm never going back to cable/satellite television, even without the torrents. Hulu doesn't have as much content as I'd like, though. Plus I like to have the complete shows downloaded so I don't have to stream over the internet all the time. There's lots of gamers in the house (myself included), it wouldn't go over very well if I was tying up the bandwidth all the time. I'm just wondering how long until the networks, cable/satellite companies change their business model and start offering à la carte channels and such, lowering their prices, etc.
