  1. Comment - Hulu set to launch tomorrow

    (Mar 11, 2008 - 3:14 PM)

    As a native Detroiter, I fully appreciate the hard workers coming from our southern neighbor, Canada, willing to work for industry average salaries while paying taxes to multiple countries.
    If it weren't for them, more of us would have to get jobs! (Of course, more jobs would *be available*, but that's another rant.)

    That being said, most of Canada's populace would be free of the "foreign rebroadcast" restrictions mentioned in the article, as the most populated areas of Canada can receive US transmissions just fine, and have no need to rebroadcast.

    As for Hulu checking your IP address: it is a simple matter to set up (or register on) a proxy site which has a US address, and stream the content through that. This is already being done with conventional broadcast video.
