Your Rights: Help Stop the Broadcast Flag

[NeVeRLiFt]

Your Rights:
Hollywood is pushing the Federal Communications Commission to forcibly implant copy-protection technology in digital television receivers. The FCC is weighing a plan to mandate this "broadcast flag" which will govern what you are allowed to do with the digital television you receive and will likely take away many of the fair-use rights you have today.

Use the form below to send either the suggested message or one of your own opposing the FCC Broadcast Flag Proposal.

Then help fight!


Thank you

I wrote a paper and gave a speech on this subject for my computer ethics class. This is a very touchy subject and I feel it is something that was decided in a previous court case Sony vs. Universal (1984). If you enjoy your fair use rights then you should support the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act of 2002 (http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA/20021003_eff_pr.html).
