CBC offers HD show downloads. Canadian ISPs are blocking though. Tuesday, August 26, 2008

The CBC is making history by being the first to release a high definition television show, free of digital rights management. You will be able to download the show via bit torrent. Some ISPs such as Rogers block bit torrent though which means that "Rogers will effectively be blocking Canadians' access to the very content that their tax dollars pay for... and if that's the case it's something that the CRTC may want to look into" - quote from the CBC Radio show called Search Engine, on March 20, 2008.
