i know the similarities between us and canadian and the EU laws that make the same legal precedent valid in US and canada.
so it will become a fair use right, and i look forward to the day, since trillions of dollars of technology advancement is being held back by location monopoly extension.

Finally you actually answered a question and as per usual your answer contradicts previous statements made by you. You have said that you don't think thing should just be free, but that fair use rights should be in place, but your answer to my question runs just the opposite of that.
If Country A has never had the show Heroes air on TV are in it and it is not available for sale in that country you feel that those people should have the right to access shift and download it for free. So you do want people to have it for free! And never mind that the producers may choose to sell it in some form in that country at a later time, you feel that since it isn't available now, they should be able to go out and get it. So really, you do think people should be able to take whatever they want if it isn't conveniently available to them regardless of what the copyright owners actual marketing plans may include.
You have also claimed you are the ultimate free marketer. How can that be? In the free market a product sinks or swims on its own merit. If an artist puts out something people love they will pay for it. Yet you, the ultimate free marketer, love the idea of a piracy tax. So you want to tax your paying customers to help subsidize losses from those who choose not to pay. That is not really a free market ideal now is it?
