Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister

CBC prime time show Canada's Next Great Prime Minister was fun to watch (see their blog). And now you can download the video as a DRM-free (Digital Rights Management-free) file using bittorrent.

Quoting Michael Geist in his Toronto Star column,

The CBC notes that this marks the first time that a North American broadcaster has released a prime-time program in this manner. In doing so, it is demonstrating its willingness to experiment with alternative forms of distribution as it works to meet its statutory mandate that requires the public broadcaster to make its programming "available throughout Canada by the most appropriate and efficient means."
