Broadcast Flag 2 - Electric Boogaloo

Posted by Zonk on Friday May 13, 2005 @06:14AM from the hilarity-ensues dept.

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.

Republicans, republicans, republicans, ....

I'll bet your life that it passes with flying colors. The damn Democrats are beholden to corporate $$$ as well.

I predict a 95% for vote in both the house & senate.
