MPAA May Not Seek Broadcast Flag in DTV Bill
Posted by James Fee in "NEWS" @ 07:00 AM
"The Motion Picture Association of America is unlikely to push for a broadcast flag component in DTV legislation establishing a 2008 hard date because the bill's main author, House Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX), is against the provision. Meanwhile, the MPAA will keep briefing House and Senate members on a broadcast flag bill's importance and seek other ways to get the content protections it wants."
Well maybe we are dodging a bullet here, but you just can't tell how this will all work out. I hate to be pessimistic, but just because it misses this bill doesn't mean we are out of the woods yet. Stay tuned.
