Broadcast flag bad
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is waging a campaign against
the "broadcast flag," a proposed requirement that devices incorporate a
form of digital rights management to protect digital TV streams.
The FCC is considering rules to mandate the broadcast flag in digital
TV sets and other equipment. This is a dumb idea on many levels -- it
will do little to stop unauthorized distribution of digital video
content, and much to create confusion among users and
manufacturers.
The EFF's action center has resources to send your comments on this issue to the FCC and other key policy makers.
