The Broadcast flag lives ... again! This entertainment industry initiative that would force electronics and computer manufacturers to implement content restrictions and prevent consumers from their fair use right to enjoy TV broadcasts where and when they want. The broadcast flag is bad for innovation. It's bad for consumers.

In a unanimous decision the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the FCC had no right to regulate technology in this way.

The broadcast flag was dead ... or was it?

Now Hollywood is trying the backdoor and sneaking the broadcast flag into a Senate appropriations bill without debate.




Please don't let them get away with it. Call or write your Senator now (EFF)!
