An anonymous reader writes "Canada's public broadcast network, CBC, is to adopt DRM free BitTorrent distribution of one of its major primetime shows, Canada's Next Great Prime Minister. The effort has already been hailed by Canadian copyright guru Michael Geist, who expects the decision to add fuel to Canada's net neutrality debate. A CBC producer behind the show told CNET that the motivation for the move was that CBC "wanted the show to be as accessible as possible to as many Canadians as possible, in the format that they want it in." As for DRM, she said "I think DRM is dead, even if a lot of broadcasters don't realize it." She added that "if it's bad for the consumers, its bad for the company." When will US networks get a clue, and ditch DRM?"
