Actually it's not a legal issue (at least here in Canada), it's an issue with the American and Canadian networks concerned about rebroadcasting their programs in other countries (and missing ad revenue). I checked with our CRTC (the Canadian equivalent of the American broadcast regulator) and they stated that they have no issues with us receiving Canadian programs elsewhere.
A few years ago I tried to stream the 2 part Don Cherry movie. Since I'm a yank, the CBC website said that since I had a foreign web address, I couldn't download it. All was not lost, since I live in Seattle, our cable has the Vancouver CBC station so eventually it came on.
Yup, seems you can't stream anything from CBC if you are using a US IP. We tried streaming some of the Canada Rugby Sevens on CBC a few weeks ago from So Cal and couldn't.
