    Producers from the show have barred Canadians from taking the most recent round of online tests, which recruit future contestants, because they are concerned about complying with Canada’s online privacy regulations.
    The penalties for breaking anti-spam laws are steep, and can rack up fines up to $10 million.
    Ultimately, it shouldn’t be too hard to create an online test that is compliant with this country’s privacy laws, said Chad Finkelstein, a lawyer with Dale and Lessman LLP who has written about business compliance with privacy laws.

    Probably an easy fix once the lawyers sort it out, which should cost a lot less than $10 million I think. In the mean time, watch for a slight bump in Jeopardy's February/March ratings book.

    Experience is the hardest teacher. She gives the test before the lesson.
