MPAA Giving Up on Broadcast Flag... For Now?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fight-for-your-right-to-time-shift dept.

YetAnotherName writes "The MPAA, which has worked hard to get a broadcast flag into US digital television, is unlikely to push for it, according to the EFF. Previously, the US Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC didn't have the authority to mandate the flag, and the MPAA began to strike back. Naturally, the fight isn't over yet."

    I see houses burning I'm ashamed
    before you close your eyes denyingly
    you'd better ask yourself

    did I choose something I could regret
    did I do something I should regret

    Is this the place I used to call - Homeland
    Is this the place I used to know - as Homeland

    the silence is illusion stay awake
    I hear children crying in fear and pain
    do cowards ask themselves?

    did I choose something I could regret
    did I do something I should regret
