Broadcast Flag Sneaking in the Back Door

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the try-try-again dept.

ZeissIcon writes "Public Knowledge.org is reporting that the oft-defeated broadcast flag DRM scheme is being sneaked into Senator Steven's Telecommunications bill. Aside from the fact that it has no business being in that bill, and making no exceptions for fair use, this particular version calls for an Audio Broadcast Flag that would affect digital and satellite radio as well. The bill goes to committee on Thursday, so there is still time for public comment."

    Face it, they are never, ever going to give up on this. You Americans should just bend over and take it. Resisting will only make it more painful.
