Digital content (be it music or movies or ebooks) must be licensed for sale in a given country by the license holder/owner in a such a country. Take movies for example. Netflix.com in US was able to license content directly from the content owners (movie studios) and the selection is impressive. Netflix.ca has to license content from the Canadian license holder (in case of movies it is mostly TV operators like Global etc.) and the result is a much smaller and older selection. They have to go thru negotiations in a smaller, less innovative market, you can see the results at netflix.ca, not even worth to sign up for a free month. The licensing limitations are not restricted to US only, UK BBC for example will not allow to download podcasts if you are outside of UK. Music streaming services (Pandora for example) and legit music download sites have similar restrictions. There is also added complication with taxes that should be collected and remitted. Overall, for such a small market as Canada, going thru the hurdles to sell you a digital content might not be worth an effort. So what can the digital content deprived Canuck do ? There are few options: - start a political movement to join US of A - move to US of A - get yourself a US Credit Card and use VPN services that get you an US IP -- matka George Transporter->Pathos Logos->Triangle Celius 2 Duets, 1 Boom, 1 SB3 Sansa Clip Plus -> AKG K 420 Fedora Core Linux ------------------------------------------------------------------------ matka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34878 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84399 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
