Big Content's Washington shysters want to control what you watch (and listen to, and read, and play). They're going to ask the unelected bureaucrats at the FCC to prevent future thoughtcrimes, but the EFF has a plan to stop them.
Hollywood is at it again, trying to control the design of new digital technologies. If the motion picture studios have their way, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will force all future televisions to include Hollywood-approved "content protection" technologies. Fair use, innovation and competition will suffer. What’s more, the "broadcast flag" technology that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has proposed is so weak that it will do nothing to stem Internet redistribution of television programs. In fact, the only people hurt by this are legitimate consumers, innovators and researchers.
Hmm...too many episodes of "Mission: Impossible" seems to have blurred the line between fantasy and reality in the executive suites of LA. Go to the EFF's site. Contact the FCC. Otherwise "this TV show will self-destruct in five, four, three..."
