U.S. appeals court throws out broadcast flag

May 06, 2005 at 01:25 PM

Great news, our government took time out of their busy schedule to actually do something in the public's best interest. The court said the Federal Communications Commision had overstepped it's authority and struck down the broadcast flag. The broadcast flag would essentially let the networks be able to tell you what you could or could not record.

Next step, dismantle the FCC altogether.

Update: PVRblog discusses the ruling and makes me want to build a MythTV box.
