---- Press releases that say "not for distribution into U.S"

Does it restrict me from using the contents of the press release in any way?

Well, it certainly can't prevent you from posting it online, judging by the number of hits I (in the U.S.) got for those exact phrases. I guess it means I'm supposed to close my eyes :)

Seriously, this question is driving me bonkers. It seems like it should refer to some specific Canadian regulation governing dissemination of information to the US-- but I've fed every phrase I can think of into .gc.ca and keep coming up cold. Normally I would ask the nearest Canadian, but, uhm, you're the nearest Canadian and if you don't know, why would anyone else?

Did learn that they're dumping the penny, though, so the time spent fighting with google dot ca was not entirely wasted.
