No US station has picked up BB Canada to broadcast in the US. Why would Slice (a Canadian channel who wants to give free live feeds out to Canadians) go to the effort of signing a deal with Superpass so a tiny handful of Americans can watch them? Especially when they'll likely be recorded and tossed on youtube :P

They only make money from Superpass buying the rights to distribute the live feeds. Why would Superpass want to buy the rights when the huge majority of the viewership will have access to the live feeds for free?
