Kill the Broadcast Flag
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 01:30 PM
"A U.S. appeals panel on Tuesday challenged new federal rules requiring certain video devices to have technology to prevent copying digital television programs and distributing them over the Internet. U.S. Circuit Judge Harry Edwards told the Federal Communications Commission it "crossed the line" requiring the new anti-piracy technology in next-generation television devices. But another appeals judge on the panel questioned whether consumers can challenge the FCC's rules in the courtroom. "
Well lets see what happens over the next few months. I expect the FCC to drop the requirement, but what will the industry try and replace it with? Could something be worse the the broadcast flag?
Also, Mark Cuban has some thoughts about the broadcast flag, the FCC and consumers.
