Broadcast Flag Shutdown

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts lately and have found the most productive sessions to be those with discussions involving individuals with great insights into the industry. I just listened to a podcast from MAKE magazine where Cory Doctorow (an accomplished blogger, author and more recently advocate for consumer rights with the EFF ) gave a very entertaining account of the recent demise of the broadcast flag in the U.S. I'm not going to go into a lot detail about it since I really couldn't do the flagrant attempt at inhibiting and controlling competition and innovation with DTV by the National Broadcasters Association and the MPAA justice.
