Thanks Jimmy for your post. To your points about "why Canadian providers are slow to innovate (Netflix, etc)" ... again, I've always understood that this was an issue with Canada's copyright laws. If this law is necessary to bring things like Hulu to us ... then overall I'm happy. Like I said, it affects me in no negative way that I can see - right now.
As for rewarding innovation, again, not to turn this into Apple fanboi takes on the world, but if Apple is innovating enough to allow you a way to legally obtain movies, music, and TV shows, while watching them on 5 devices (that's more than anyone has mentioned specifically needing in this thread), shouldn't they be rewarded, instead of people insisting on using "legacy devices" to watch DVDs? Yes, I know you already purchased the DVD, but did we complain when we were 'forced' to move from VHS to DVD? I honestly don't remember because I never really personally owned any videocassettes so it wasn't a big deal. Hoping not to come off as Mr. High Horse again, but people seem to be complaining when the answer they seek is right in front of them!
