Broadcast Flag 2 - Electric Boogaloo

blamanj wrote to mention that, a week after we reported on the court rejection of the broadcast flag, the MPAA is working on new legislation to broaden the FCC's power. From the article: "The draft bill says, simply, that the FCC will 'have authority to adopt regulations governing digital television apparatus necessary to control the indiscriminate redistribution of digital television broadcast content over digital networks.' The DC Circuit nixed the flag on the grounds that the FCC didn't have the authority. This language would clear that up." Update: 05/13 19:20 GMT by Z : Title amended with apologies to the Bugaloos.

If you don't like the choices that are put up by the parties, write someone in. Write yourself in.

The statement made by going to the polls and voting can not be ignored.

So is it that we didn't vote or that we arn't proactive in the workings of our government?

Voting is central. When you write a letter to a legislator, if you were to open it with "I don't vote, but I think..." the rest of your letter will be ignored.
