Hey Canadians: No Daily Show for you

I'm in Canada right now and can verify this. The Daily Show clips archive is blocked to users in Canada. Anyone know if videos are working from other countries? Read story at NewsCloud.

Yeah, it's not working in New Zealand either. Though it definitely was a few days ago, so it's a recent change out here.

I don't know why I didn't see this coming.

It's the same for the UK.

I can understand if they are selling the shows to networks that broadcast it at a slightly later date then they don't want to make the clips available to non-US folks immediately, but why not make them available after a suitable time has elapsed?

This is crazy! They could be selling new media access all over the world, charging advertisers to advertise to a global audience!

I understand that the viewing of clips is funded by advertising. I'll watch the adverts! I don't mind a delay in the appearance of clips! But please please PLEASE give us Jon and Stephen back. You gave us access to their clips, we naturally fell in love with them, and - we can't see them anymore? We're fans too, why we can't we see advertiser-funded clips? Even worse, there's no TCR in the UK so I don't have any hope of seeing any Stephen clips any more ... how am I going to cope?

It works in Switzerland for the time being. I hope they keep it that way...

Not working in Costa Rica, either. I'm sad - when I return to the US, they should be on winter vacation, so it'll be January when I see them next. Then I come back to Costa Rica at the beginning of February, and I'll go through withdrawal again! That's not very nice! :-(
