Canada has a some new metered Internet usage laws where any ISP using Bell Canada’s network has to cap their users at 25GB/month of downloads, after which they get charged $0.95 per additional Gigabyte. But here’s where it gets interesting – 2 Americans who run a security camera company are helping (and protesting the new law) by downloading anything for their Canadian friends, burning it to CD/DVD and shipping it via snail mail.
Oh, and did we mention they’re doing it for free? Yup, assuming the requests don’t take them under, it’s free. So if you’re Canadian and are using their service, creatively called Canadian Download, it would be nice to donate and/or patronize their main site. And of course, if you disagree with the law, register your complaint with the government.
