20 Lawmakers Want to Kill Your Television

Macki writes "As previously mentioned, the Broadcast Flag is back before congress. There are 20 law makers currently supporting the bill. The insane thing about it is the fact that no one supports the bill except a handful of entertainment companies. Probably not even the employees of the entertainment companies. It's bad enough they want to break our televisions, but the way that they are subverting democracy is just astounding. Danny O'Brien at the EFF has done a spectacular job deconstructingthe MPAA/RIAA's efforts to ramrod this through, and more importantly, the motivations of the members of congress who are helping them."

Parent displays open, unadulterated bigotry, and you idiots mod it insightful.

In all fairness, Frist is R, he's supposed to be evil. Barbara Boxer is D, and she's supposed to be on our side.
