Not out of the CRTC's jurisdiction though.
He should be tossed in jail and the key thrown away. It is highly illegal for Canadian citizens to aquire US sattilite signals...through any means.
Also XM should cut his account since he is based out of Canada.
"...so I had high hopes that they might be a breakthrough device that would fit my needs perfectly. Something that would really do damage to Apple's iPod."
I so wanted a BeBox back in the day. Too bad I had no money back then (hmmmm times never change).
Anyway, I did get a Be t-shirt....and I still got it!
I went to the head office branch on Bay St. in Toronto this morning and they had free donuts and coffee. I have been going to this branch for the last 5-6 years. They never had free donuts before.
I hope my Visa payment goes through ok...they had to do everything on paper.
The clones have already won in Canada....and the consumers have lost. We have no Tivo or Replay TV. One of our two Satilite companies offer a 1 tuner DVR, the other offers nothing. My cable company offers a one tuner PVR.......... for $750.
As an OT....I wouldn't want to be using my cable company's listings for a PVR. The show often do not match what is on and are very often generic(ie The Simpsons episode description is quite often "Matt Groening's subversive animated satire about Springfield's hapless first family"
I hope the US Gov cracks down on all the snowbirds, ex Canadians, etc in the US that have Canadian dishes.
I am 100% sure that the Canadian industry(Sat/CRTC/Networks) doesn't loose any sleep about those subscribers. In fact they are probably cooking up some sort of convoluted law to allow it.
Yes, we do need Tivo in Canada. If they do not act soon they may miss the market.
Expressvu has an overpriced pvr, as does Rogers. Also, Starchoice will have one in "2004". None are/will be as good as Tivo, but I think we know how that battle usually ends up.

Does anyone have the patent for WIFI portable internet radios yet?
You must not visit Mac rumor sites if you think Slashdot posts every single Mac rumor.

This guy has a real hate on for Apple doesn't he?
Does this actually copy the mp3s/accs or does it just re-encode?
Imagine if an acadamy member had a party and handfuls of people saw the sacred DVDs for free.
The question is though. Was it Royal Bank's IT dept or is their IT outsourced?

It would be a shame to see some MBA fun boys come in and destroy Pixar after they are gone.
Monster has a warning on it not to drink more than 3 cans a day.
I wonder why they release singles and videos?

Your subject made me think. Why are the librarys not being targeted by the industry? They distribute CDs and DVDs...for free!
I'd like to ammend your proposal. - Remove the position of Heritage Minister - Take away the CRTC's power to regulate content

...just wait for "Big Will's" theme song.
Rollins is a Mac guy
"to stay compatible with work" is such a bad reason for going Windows. If work wants me to work @ home they can provide the hardware and software.
So Comcast buys Disney, keeps all of Disney's TV properties (ABC, ESPN, etc), and sells Pure Disney (Mickey, theme parks, etc) to Pixar+Roy Disney.
Did you know that there are many free alternatives to McDonalds hamburgers?
What with the ground beef, buns, cheese, etc.
So look for a cheap hotplate and frypan and enjoy hamburgers!

On one hand you have the "@ 199 I would have bought it" crowd and on the other hand you have the "for 50 more why wouldn't I get the 15GB"
I guess the good news (for Apple) is that there will be a lot of people who rest in the middle of those extremes.
