Hollywood has changed the battleground to the FCC. Susan Crawford writes about the entertainment biz's end around Congress and courts to gain control of the home through the FCC. I can only hope the combined tech and telecom industries quickly organize to fight this new challenge or another rout will be had, similar to the disastrous DMCA.
Crawford examines new draft rules that gives the FCC power over:
all possible home copying and transmission, all possible consumer devices, and all possible online audio services. The DTV provision will be just as broad. Everything you do with digital content will need regulatory permission. ... Only permitted devices will be allowed to interconnect. There will be no required interconnection to unauthorized services or devices.
The arguments of both content and network providers are the same: "This is our property. We own it. We will have no incentives to produce more of it -- more broadband access or more movies -- unless our rights are protected."
