I’m in the same boat with the digital copies too!

I ordered a few movies from amazon us, because they were much cheaper. (District 9, Inglorious Basterds, Terminator Salvation and The Hangover)

Because I bought them in the US, I can’t load the digital copies into my iTunes, because I have a Canadian iTunes account.

Basically, they’re useless.

Lame.

Great article; As a Canadian this concerns me. Personally I’d rather have the digital generic avi file than buy the actual title. I don’t want to sit through previews and warning screens from the fbi. I don’t want to deal with a physical library. I want to be able to back up my entire library with the click of a button.

Canada has the potential to be a perfect influential country.

Thanks for the video. I forwarded your first one on to my MP as a supplement to my first email to him, and I have received positive feedback from his executive assistant every time I’ve contacted them about this issue – she said that she would forward my info to him.

One point I raised in my first email to him was that I use Linux, and since it doesn’t support “official” dvd playback, every time I watch a DVD on my laptop – under bill C-32 I would be breaking the law. This serves no purpose.

Thanks.
