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."

    The sentace begins with "Previously" indicating that the MPAA had initially tried to "strike back", but is now "unlikely to push" the issue.
