For those not following along, it appears that a DC Appeals court has
struck down the "broadcast flag" regulation created by the FCC. See
today's Tampa Tribune, business section. One telling paragraph:
"The FCC acknowledged the agency never had exercised the authority to
impose regulations affecting television broadcasts after such programs
are beamed into households, but it maintained that was permitted by
Congress because lawmakers didn't explicitly outlaw it."
I don't particularly want to provoke a political debate, but it's worth
noting where this particular regulation came from.
