So I'm using HBO Now in Canada via a smart DNS service and I got this email a few days ago:

"Dear HBO NOW User:

It has come to our attention that you may have signed up for and viewed video content on the HBO NOW streaming service from outside of the authorized service area (the United States, including D.C. and certain US territories).

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the HBO NOW streaming service is only available to residents of the United States, for use within the United States. Any other access is prohibited by our Terms of Use.

If you feel that you have received this message in error, and that you have both met the eligibility requirements for HBO NOW and have been using the service within the United States, please call us at 1-855-366-2183. If we do not hear from you by April 21, we will proceed with deactivating your HBO NOW account without further notice to you. Please note that it is your responsibility to cancel any automatic billing with your Subscription Provider to avoid incurring charges for any future months.
Thank you,
The HBO NOW Team "

I know a bunch of people outside of the US received this as well. Anyone here get it? Has your account been deactivated? As of this morning mine was still working.

It's gotta be a legal reason. There's no economic advantage to refusing paying customers.

Probably some cable company in Canada that wants exclusive rights to show HBO content or some shyt. WWE Network is unavailable in most of Western Canada because of something similar.
