Congress Raises Broadcast Flag For Audio
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "CONTENT" @ 08:00 AM
"Digital radio receivers without government-approved copy-prevention technology likely would become illegal to sell in the future, according to new federal legislation announced Thursday. Rep. Mike Ferguson, a New Jersey Republican, said his bill--which would enforce a so-called "broadcast flag" for digital and satellite audio receivers--was necessary to protect the music industry from the threat of piracy."
Nothing like more laws to help protect the music industry from a non-existent threat. On the plus side, if you own a current generation receiver, your potential resale price might be going up.
