yay for the FCC - not!

"Tuesday's vote orders makers of hardware that can receive digital television signals to build in recognition of broadcast "flags" that copy-protect content."

"More than 40 million DVD players in consumers' homes today will not be able to play content they record on new 'flagged' devices"

they got till 2005

I was reading up on this for the last couple months and hoping it would not pass. Reasons why they passed this was to protect tv shows like friends for which digital copying and distibution over the internet have become a major concern. YEAH WHATEVER! :/
