I really want to see the Olympics but I have to settle for highlights on YouTube. Lame.

Am I just failing to use that site properly, or is it missing a ton of stuff in 'replays' that was available live?

I feel like the CBC had a better version of this thing 12 years ago.

It does seem different. Hard to say exactly why with only using it every couple years. Wondering if there is more lag time for uploads.

If you don't mind the commentary being in French, you should be able to watch the games on https://france.tv for free (needs an account). I don't know if a VPN located in France is needed

Exclusivity is a failure mode for copyright. Mandatory licensing should've been the immediate goal as soon as Netflix started losing content. Blatantly awful for consumers - and we're talking about giving companies money. If you sell a thing and find yourself going 'well I don't want to sell it that way' then it's probably because you have anti-competitive schemes in mind. We can't tolerate that shit.

This is the reason? I was wondering why everybody's talking about it but not showing it

Any large multi-national international competition with a significant public interest should have and require public access.
