Re: DTV illegal in Canada? What is the legal justification?

The laws are in place to protect that business model It's weird because if we didn't have the Canadian channels then we could watch the same content without simsubs and have cheaper cable bills. Win-Win.

Sim-subs, yes. Cheaper, not too likely. Canadian broadcast networks are still free to carry for the cable/satellite companies, US networks aren't.

I don't see how thats even relevant when the so-called "Canadian broadcast networks" ARE the BDU's.

Its like a bad copyright law that was lobbied for entirely on behalf of big business. You're just protecting Bell/Rogers/etc by making out of country subscription TV illegal.

Separate arms of the same parent company. It's all shuffling money around on paper... until it's used as a justification to bill the customer for it.
