&gt;She can most certainly watch CSI from an authorized distributor in Canada if she pays the right content owners in Canada.<p>She can buy the US version instead.  Why should she be limited to what someone in Canada wants to sell it for?  The internet doesn&#x27;t follow national borders.  I can access a webpage in Germany just as easily as a website in the US, and with online content, it&#x27;s nothing more than bits being streamed.  So why should she pay more?  To prop up a dinosaur of a business model?  Screw that.<p>&gt;As a consumer, if you don&#x27;t have an option to buy something, doesn&#x27;t mean you should acquire it thru illegal means.<p>Sure it does.  They&#x27;ve had their chance to offer things by legal means, they&#x27;ve been shown that it works, but it&#x27;s not good enough for them. Fuck &#x27;em.<p>&gt;NAFTA was created to eliminate tariffs and protect intellectual property. Someone buys the right to distribute a show in Canada, this right should be protected.<p>Why should that be protected?  That&#x27;s not free trade, it&#x27;s blatantly against the whole stated reason for the treaty.<p>Again, fuck &#x27;em.  Piracy is the answer.  When legal means don&#x27;t work, and only serve moneyed interests and are put in place by corrupt politicians, it&#x27;s time to ignore the laws.
