Broadcast Flag slapped down!

I’m sure everyone heard today’s news that the broadcast flag has been shot down by a federal appeals court. It goes to show that the Vast Global Conspiracy doesn’t always succeed (and that the movie studios will have to innovate, not litigate, for their business to keep working).

Without the broadcast flag, more companies will be able to compete in the market for television hardware that innovation will happen faster, produce cheaper products, and save you money in the long run.

So give some of that future savings back. If you haven’t already, go donate some money to Public Knowledge and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
