winning regulatory relief. But that phase is clearly over. Some
might say the system worked: Sinclair got the message, and retreated.
I say the system jerked, and Sinclair realized how little there is to

The End Of Broadcast?
05/04/2004 03:56 AMAs the big media companies continue to struggle to understand what
interactivity actually means in an age where consumers are used to
getting what they want, even folks at CNN (maybe the writer of this
article should talk to the business folks on the other side of the
building) are suggesting that
the old
way of "broadcasting" content is losing out to true interactivity.
That is, people aren't waiting around for content companies to
implement "interactive" solutions. Instead, they're doing what they
can do on the internet to make things interactive themselves. Yet,
the broadcasters still don't understand what's happening. They spend
lots of time, money and effort trying to come up with copy protection
schemes to keep their traditional broadcast revenue, and they set up
"focus groups" to answer questions, while ignoring what people are
telling them they want. Obviously, broadcast content isn't going away
any time soon, but it appears that those in charge of broadcasters
simply haven't realized that the ground is moving out beneath them.
No one is waiting for broadcasters to provide content to them any
more. If they're not getting what they want, they're creating it on
their own - and that's a world the broadcasters aren't used to playing
in and don't seem to recognize.

Why the Broadcast Flag Matters

broadcast flag ruling is important to the future of the Net.

FCC Approves Broadcast Flag
11/04/2003 07:06 PMAs was very much expected, the FCC ignored plenty of reasons why this
is a terrible idea and has
approved the "broadcast flag" for digital TV
programs. All digital TV receivers will need to recognize this flag,
meaning that people will (a) need to buy new equipment and (b) lose
plenty of fair use rights. Note that it will do nothing to stop
"piracy" as the industry claims. It's unclear from the quick
Associated Press version of the article how the broadcast flag is
going to be implemented (that is, who is going to set it up and
approve it), but I'm sure that information will come out shortly.
Anyway, here we have another political decision that will do nothing
to solve an actual problem, but will make most people worse off.
The Battle for the Broadcast Bands
The Battle for the Broadcast Bands
05/06/2004 01:07 PMThe FCC is considering a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to open
up un-used broadcast television bands for unlicensed use. It
adopted a notice of inquiry exploring this possibility last year, but
an NPRM would be a significant step forward -- it would mean the FCC
has specific proposals that, following public comment, it can actually
adopt.
This is a huge opportunity. All the innovation and investment in
unlicensed wireless to date has occurred in narrow, noisy,
high-frequency bands. Because of their propagation
characteristics, the broadcast frequencies are the best place to
create
new broadband alternatives. Former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt
advoca
ted this point in his Senate testimony last week.
Unfortunately, and predictably, the incumbent broadcasters aren't
happy
with the idea. Even though they would be some of the biggest
beneficiaries of opening up the broadcast band "white space" which is
now completely un-used, they see anything that increases usable
wireless capacity eroding their lucrative government-granted
oligopoly.
A source tells me that FCC Chairman Powell wants to put the broadcast
band NPRM on the FCC's open meeting agenda for next week, but he is
facing furious opposition from the broadcasters. If you care
about creating new opportunities for wireless innovation and broadband
deployment, now is the time to push the FCC to do the right
thing.

Broadcast Treaty negotiations (day 2/3)
Broadcast Treaty negotiations (day 2/3)
06/08/2004 12:31 PMWe've just wrapped up the second day of Broadcast Treaty negotations
at the UN in Geneva, and once again, two colleagues and I took really
extensive notes on the proceeding. Brazil and India gave amazing
testimony today, and I was able to address the UN on DRM -- it was
screamingly cool. We did a lot more editorializing today -- it's still
hard to follow, but damn this is important. If we lose here, it's a
disaster for the Internet and the PC.
* Brazil
- Article 5: National Treatment. We favor alternative J,
irrespective of whether we agree on some kind of redefinition of
the term "national." We reserve the right to come back --
possible at a future meeting -- to the issue of the rights
conferred to the beneficiaries under the treaty.
[ed: note Brazilian implication that this business shouldn't be
concluded at this session]
- Concentrate on Article 16, Technical Protection Measures [ed: AKA
DRM]. Brazil is concerned with
proposed inclusion of TPMs in proposed new treaty. Aware that
similar provisions are in WCT and WPPT, but it's important to
recall that those treaties were negotiated and adopted when there
was little awareness regarding potential implications of use of
TPMs. Since then, some years have gone by, and there's a growing
widespread awareness that use of such measures can be quite
detrimental to rights of consumers and public at large.
Significant concern that anticircumvention has significant
negative for exercise of rights exceptions and limitations in
national laws. Important obstacle to access of public to public
domain materia.
Inconsistent with necessary free flow of info so important to
encourage innovation and creativity in the digital environment.
All of Art 16 counters stated objectives of new treaty as
referred to in preamble. Para recognizes need to maintain
balance between rights of broadcasters and larger public
interest.
This entire article should believe this entire article should be
deleted from the text. Other delegates argue that e fact that we
have these provisions in WCT and WPPTY mean that we should
include them in this treaty. We disagree. Not pertinent to rights
of broadcasting organizations.
[ed. Brazil is very courageous. -dt]
[ed. See EFF's Unintended Consequences report for some of the
specific harms from adopting anticircumvention to which Brazil
alludes. Brazil recognizes that previous treaties offer
opportunity to learn from mistakes, not just blindly follow
existing language. -ws]
[ed This is the best statement I've ever heard at a WIPO session.
-cd]
Chairman: Access to information is near to my heart as well. This
is not intended to cover DRM that locks up public domain
material. If an industry or entity does this, then TPM protection
shouldn't be available and circumvention should be lawful.
[ed. Since broadcasting isn't copyright, though, there's a wide
range of new material locked up by new rights for broadcasters.
Otherwise, there's no need for a treaty at all, since copyright
and licensing of copyrights can cover the field. -ws]
[ed. It's a nice theory, but the DMCA enthusiastically covers the
uncopyrightable, the public domain, and things that really
shouldn't be thought of as copyright, like the way that garage
door owners work or the secret of refilling a printer cart -cd]

Canada's Broadcast Flag
Canada's Broadcast Flag
09/08/2004 04:44 PM
Cory Doctorow:
The Broadcast Flag is a US regulation that nominally prevents Internet
redistribution of digital TV signals, but in fact sets up a world
where Hollywood studios and their captured regulators get a veto over
the design of all new TV technology -- and distort the market for PC
components like hard drives and video-cards in a way that will hobble
innovation, drive up prices and shut out open source.
Weirdly enough, Canada seems to think that this sounds pretty good.
Given the controversy associated with the broadcast flag in the U.S.,
one would think that Canada would be wary about embarking on the same
route. Accordingly, it came as a shock to many when an Industry Canada
official recently indicated that Canada was likely to follow the U.S.
lead by quickly implementing a similar system by July 2005. The
official suggested that there was broadcaster support for the measure
and that since the U.S. had adopted it, Canadians had little
alternative but to follow suit.
While Canadian broadcasters may or may not support the broadcast flag
(they have in fact been rather publicly silent on the matter), it is
essential Canada craft its own policy by considering the privacy and
copyright policies associated with the proposal.
Pre-judging the issue, as some in Minister Emerson's department appear
to have done, is a dangerous course of action, that should be replaced
immediately by a working group of all stakeholders, including the
broader public interest, intent on studying the Canadian options. The
suggestion Canada faces a Y2K-like deadline with respect to the
broadcast flag appears as overblown as was the Y2K threat itself.

igade makes a case for video aggregators. It is already here
in the form of RSS enclosures (I still get lots of video and audio
clips from
Adam Curry delivered
automatically to a folder on my desktop). However, not everyone
has the bucks like Adam to pay the hosting costs this
entails. What is needed is a P2P system that hooks into
aggregators and weblog tools.
This is, of course, something that I have been an advocate of for
years and years. It just hasn't made it fruition yet.
However, with video phones just around the corner, the time is ripe
for some movement in this direction. What is needed to get this
moving:
- A P2P system like Onion
Networks that generates unique file names for all files on the
system and content check to ensure there isn't any corruption of the
file on the network. Like Onion, this system needs to be
viewable by all active participants on the network (systems like
KaZaA and Morpheus only show you a small portion of the network,
which in turn requires up to ~40,000 copies on the network
in order to be seen by everyone). If a file is seen by all
network participants, the publisher gets immediate help on bandwidth
costs when the first person downloads the file to their
system.
- The P2P system should generate a unique code for
each file placed in a folder on a weblog publishers desktop.This code
could be cut and pasted into a weblog post. When a reader clicks
the post, they are requested to download an RSS aggregator to
view the content.
- An RSS aggregator with connections with desktop P2P
software. Additional control, provided the aggregator software,
would let you determine when you wanted it downloaded (now or
later). You would also have the option of downloading it as part
of your RSS feed if you trust that person.
The end-user experience should be as simple and subscribing
to an RSS feed and setting the preferences for that feed
(enclosures or no enclosures). Alternatively, if an end-user (reader)
clicks on a link to a P2Ped video file published on a weblog they
aren't subscribed to, a windlet would pop up to ask them to download
some aggregator software -- or -- if they have it already it would ask
them whether they wanted to dowload it now or later.
The end result would be a system that scales (to millions of
users), is inexpensive to operate (which means almost anyone could do
it with a DSL connection), and is fast (since downloads can come
from multiple sources with the same file). It would allow us to
move to a world where publishing a news channel is as simple as taking
the video and putting it into your weblog. Raw video news all
the time. I wish someone had the cohones to put this
together.
NOTE: If Dean had only spent $100k of his money on putting the
parts (the software is already there -- all we need is a
high viz demo) together on a system like this, he would have a way to
truly put the screws to big media.

EFF Fights Broadcast Flag With ...
MythTV?
07/02/2004 08:20 AM
The EFF has an interesting,
if somewhat milquetoast call out to programmers and other geeks to
help develop the MythTV project, specifically to make it easier to use
by the average consumer. Their fear is that the FCC's broadcast flag
(a DRM system that will lock down your ability, unless permitted by
broadcasters, to exercise your fair use rights, like copying or
timeshifting, on HDTV streams) will pass into law as scheduled about a
year from now. There is a loophole, currently, that allows
unrestricted HDTV devices to be sold and resold, even after the
broadcast flag goes into effect.
The idea is, I think, to try to get as many unrestricted HDTV
tuners and PVRs into the hands of people as possible, not only to free
themselves from future restriction, but to raise awareness that the
government, in the pocket of Hollywood, has already made plans to put
the squeeze on your rights.
