    I kind of agree but iCraveTV closed because of legal pressure from US companies and US law before Canada did anything.

      A strong regulatory environment fends off attacks from other countries. Imagine if Canada tried to pull that stunt on an American company. It’d be considered a declaration of war.

      We bent over backwards to appease the Americans, only to see them allow Youtube to do almost exactly the same thing moments later…

      You can’t invest in that kind of environment.
