As a Canadian, this pisses me off. The CRTC already has their regulatory hands into our TV, Radio and other publishing mediums to the point where its nigh impossible to get any substantial international content anywhere. The only world news I can get on a regular basis is by listening to the college radio station at 7am to hear snippets of the BBC news.
If Canadian content was actually good it would get air time. Infact, there are TON's of amazing indie band's filling this quota on my local alternative station, because their actualy worth listening too (not like Nickleback, god knows why they get played). Forcing content does nothing but bring the overall quality of our media down, and force canadians to find other ways of obtaining what we really want to see and hear - like downloads, satellite radio and pirate satellite tv signals (yay!).
Fuck You CRTC!

The idea's been kicked around for a long time, and is not really new. Unfortunatly it looks as though if an idea is not patentable in the USA it doesn't exist. Start reading folks... this isn't anything new, it just that a company may have gotten enough attention to actualy get a non-oil consuming energy source off the ground (cause we all know what competition like this would do to Big Oil).
Why not? should the cricket robots go wild, all you need to do is plug in a manaicaly depressed robot with the brain the size of a planet to counteract them.
Unfortunatly i doubt the majority of the american public has enough "headroom" to handle a normal advertising span full of blipverts... (Ba-dum-dum-Pish!)
When DVD's first hit the market and DVD-ROM drives became availible for PC's, this was the same approach used in the first-gen DVD rippers...
This is preaty close to the "Analog hole" circumvention of DRM, all you really need is a multi-plexer coming off any decent HD home theater setup and run it straight into a tuner card on your pc - Tada! - frame capture without the sore print screen finger.
