John

Let's not forget that although Canada's population is far less than the United States, they are home to the 2nd largest porn capitol in the world - Montreal.

BTW - How much of this online video is porn anyway?

Early adopters in Canada and the rest of the world are pretty much forced to internet viewing by the time delay between US release and local market release and once a critical mass of people have learned to go to the internet for their favorite shows they'll never go back. Another business model bites the dust.

I think this is because alot of shows aired on US networks are available to US users for later viewing on sites like Hulu.com. Canadians don't have access to those sites, and so they are left to scour the net in different locations (youtube, alluc.org ect) to catch up with thier fav shows. It ads up over time!

You can't keep a good Canadian away from free content.

That's quite an achievement considering Canadians are cut off from a large amount of region-locked content on sites like Hulu and chunks of YouTube.
