To be clear, the guy was selling an app which provided access to radio programs that the CBC was providing for free. My impression was that the charging money part was the problem as the CBC is funded partly by tax dollars.
The content was still served by the CBC and accessed only after the end user activated one of the hyperlinks. He was only charging money for his web browser and home page that hosted those hyperlinks.
