    Big tech absolutely will. Why not? If the feds create really stupid rules and the cheapest alternative for tech companies is to exclude, then of course that is what they will do.

    I don’t personally think this is a genuine move to support Canadian media. It’s more akin to how feds treat Canadians to fund Canadian media. They are just trying to push it to non Canadian tech companies.

    Big tech companies are greedy. They would sell their grandmothers for a dollar. If they can make $0.99 instead of $1 they’re going to wave their dicks settings and hope everyone just caves buy ultimately they aren’t going to be willing to give up that $0.99.

          Not entirely. Your comment seemed to be trying to attribute blame based on nothing more than a measure of greed.

          I was simply saying that no one side has a monopoly on greed in this scenario - so you’d need a bit more than that to try and figure out who’s in the wrong.
