There are no Canadian content rules for the internet though. If memory serves The CRTC (which regulates Canadian content) has tried and failed to get jurisdiction over the Internet. I could see a CC issue if the Bell New Media Fund was involved somehow, but that's doubtful. Even if there was a legitimate problem I don't see why people in other countries couldn't be allowed to at least watch.
Sounds like I'm not missing much anyway. I wonder what the bloggers they are meeting with to show this thing off will have to say. - Andrew Mike Moon wrote: > Canadian Content laws are probably the reason for the Canadian only > broadcast rules.
