Appeals court nixes FCC Broadcast Flag

 

Earlier this year I posted about the FCCs broadcast flag for digital television programming. In a nutshell, the FCC mandated that a broadcast flag accompany every digital television broadcast. The flag would have prevented certain programs from being recorded.

Apparently the Appeals court said

“We can find nothing in the statute, its legislative history, the applicable case law, or agency practice indicating that Congress meant to provide the sweeping authority the FCC now claims over receiver apparatus,”

BBC reports on it here.
