Can somebody explain and give context? Reading laws is not my forté.

  Sure! There's a type of service called media monitoring. It's where companies... monitor the media. Clients often want media clips from the TV shows they were featured in. So you need a database of TV clips. There's a government body in Canada that handles a bunch of aspects of Canada's copyright system. They set tariffs and rules for doing various things. They've set the tariffs for media monitoring and also set the rules that you have to follow in order to run a media monitoring service. One of them is that you can't have a database that has video with a resolution greater than 320x240 and it also can't have a frame rate greater than 15 frames per second. Obviously this isn't legal advice... There appear to be a lot of rules to follow. This looks to be one of them. Consult a lawyer to find out how complicated this really is...
