[...] The Globe and Mail’s Mathew Ingram was one of the few not to be taken in by the smoke and mirrors. He asks, very reasonably, what the point of a “localized” Canadian site is in the first place. (His remarks remind me a bit of Casey McKinnon’s views on CanCon.) [...]

[...] Posted by scrawledinwax on November 2nd, 2007 Today, Michael Geist links to responses to a proposed plan to prioritise Canadian content on the internet. Undestandably, Galacticast producer Casey McKinnon – one of Canada’s more famous online personalities – is less than thrilled with the idea, and argues that the internet is”a land of opportunity. A new world where people had the freedom to make their dreams a reality… Instead of sitting around waiting for some executive to call us to approve of a script, or going to countless auditions, we�re doing it all on our own and making our dreams come true.” She suggests that CanCon rules will destroy this spirit, instead subjecting Canadian content to the same sort of mediocrity that plagues the lineup of the CBC.

Casey great blog post. Gives me a little bit of insight into how screwed up canadian media is. A bit worse than the US, which is bad!

As for Alexander, Your so wrong on the NBC point. Read it one more time. Casey isn’t saying that NBC should not get a cut of iTunes NBC content sales, which they do get, and are every right entitled too because it’s their content (NBC’s cut was roughtly 70%). Casey is saying they shouldn’t be asking for a cut from iPod (the player) sales, which is Apples design & product. This issue came about because universal music made a deal with Microsoft to receive $1 USD for every Microsoft zune player sold, and now everybody is looking for the same deal with apple, which apple is not going to do and shouldn’t have too.

About NBC as I re-read again (I know, I should have proofread just one more time).

Assuming they increase their price, people will leave it by the way-side just like uninteresting content. It will float to the bottom and sink to the internet sewers.
