CBC (Canada) has an asinine policy restricting their video to be viewed outside of Canada. They recently featured a documentary about the doubts people have regarding the official U.S. Government report as to the 9-11-2001 demolition of the World Trade Center buildings in New York City. I wanted to watch this documentary from their website, but it would NOT work. So, I emailed CBC and got the silly answer that streaming to Internet users outside of Canada was prohibited because of "copyright infringement". I think that this is an engineered lame excuse and shows the arrogance of a government run tax supported network. I doubt that PBS prohibits streaming webcasts to Canada! Canada is nothing like it used to be with these limits on freedom.
