said by El Quintron:If you're watching DTV in Canada, then you're not violating copyright because the rights holder has approved the materials for transmission on DTV, but, someone else in Canada has paid for the rights to broadcast this here, making it a violation of the exclusive privilege granted to the Canadian broadcaster.
And the actual violation is the American DTV provider and that's who the Canadian broadcasters should go after since they are infringing the Canadian Broadcasters' rights! The American DTV providers should not be providing service to Canadians.
But that's too hard and potentially costly, so, instead the Canadian Broadcasters twisted the CRTCs arm to put the fault on the Canadian consumer for buying foreign services.
