Hosting TV shows / movies unlicensed in your region - illegal or legal?

    If I hosted, let's say a TV show that was unlicensed in Canada, but licensed in China, would that be illegal? I see a lot of sites hosting these files, but once they are licensed, they no longer host them.

    Also, since I live in Canada, what if the show is licensed in the US but not in Canada? Would that make hosting an American TV show on my server illegal?

    Thanks

    If you got licensed in Canada while not in US,so it is legal in Canada while illegal in USA.

    so it is legal to host unlicensed video files in your region on your server correct? I just don't want a lawsuit coming my way
