There is currently a lawsuit against Spotify in Quebec. Might be related.
Because premium subscriptions were charged automatically after a free first month. Spotify sent a mass email about this with the legal documents included.
Some of the wierd things I found out about Quebec's absurd language laws -
Toys and games, which require the use of a non-French vocabulary for their operation are prohibited on the Québec market, unless a French version of the toy or game is available on the Québec market on no less favourable terms.
KFC was renamed to PFC (Poulet Frit Kentucky) inorder to operate in Quebec.
The child of non English immigrants or naturalized citizens cannot go to English schools in Quebec by law !
I happened to be on vacation in Quebec when Law 1 (or was it 101?) went into effect. I remember the education minister threatening English-speaking schools with $x/child/day fines for sending to children from any but Anglophone homes.

Since you can't use French to compete in Code Jam, I guess it violates Quebec's Charter of the French Language.
