A Broadcast Flag For Digital Radio?
A Broadcast Flag For Digital Radio?
05/24/2004 06:59 PMThe RIAA isn't exactly known for understanding concepts like fair use,
or that giving consumers what they want generally helps to grow a
market, but now they're just wasting everyone's time. Their latest
move is to
push for a
broadcast flag for digital radio, so that you may no longer be
able to record what you hear on the radio. In other words, just as
the industry is trying to convince people to switch over to digital
radio for the better sound quality, they're also going to be taking
away the rights people have enjoyed for ages concerning what they can
do with the content they hear.

05/25/2004 07:05 AMDo you remember when you where a kid and you did not have enough
money to buy music and you taped music directly off the radio onto
your cassette tape. I am sure some of you are going to say are you
kidding who would do that. Well I did as my allowance each week
definitely was not spent on music. But now because the RIAA has
finally figured out that people can record streaming feeds from the
Internet they have decided that is how people are going to be stealing
music.
I personally pay for my streaming audio feeds and if I want to
record them and listen to those feeds when I find time then that
should be my business. I am sure the FCC is going to give the RIAA
what they want. Become a advocate of protecting fair use of

06/17/2004 11:21 AMCNet is reporting about the RIAA's appeal yesterday to the FCC to
restrict end-users' ability to make home-recordings of music
broadcasted over high-quality digital radio. Fortunately, the
proposals are not going unopposed, as both consumer groups and
electronics industry consortiums are pushing back against the RIAA's
move to remove home-taping rights that consumers have had for years.

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.

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.

Broadcast Flag for getting some of Fair Use rights back. What is sad
is that he is typically on our side. I am of the opinion that it is
just time to route around all of the groups that are itching to take
control of all of the content you consume in your home and then have
to ask permission or told no, that you cannot a show.
Lets do this instead, distribute all media via the Internet by
creating video content the same way podcasters are creating audio
content. Produce it well enough that people will start streaming video
on to their home media centers and bypass all of the networks
completely then we will not need to worry about broadcast flag. [Engadget]

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.

A United States federal court has ruled against the FCC's strong
recommendation that television manufacturers build a " broadcast flag

televisions.
Proponents of the broadcast flag had argued that such a mandated
technology would limit piracy of digital television programs. Opponents described the
method as harming legitimate uses of digital content, while hurting
American device manufacturers in a global market generally lacking
broadcast flags.

Japanese Broadcast Flag -- welcome to
the crappy future of TV
05/26/2004 02:43 AMThe Japanese Broadcast Flag has gone into effect. Like its American
cousin, this is a technology mandate that restricts how you can use
the shows that show up on your own television, on the grounds that you
might be some kinda eyepatch-wearing-pirate. 'Course, the broadcast
flag doesn't really stop you from capturing
analog signals
and putting their programming online; no, this is a measure that is
100% ineffective at stopping "piracy" and 100% effective at stopping
new tech like VCRs from being invented without the permission of the
movie studios.
Because programs that have been copied once cannot be duplicated or
edited digitally, editing the programs via a personal computer has
become impossible.
In addition, the broadcasters' move has made it necessary for viewers
to insert a special user identification card, known as a B-CAS card,
into their digital TV sets to watch programs.
These duplication controls are being applied to digital TV programs
aired by both digital terrestrial and satellite broadcasters.
In the week after the measure was implemented, NHK and the grouping of
private broadcasters received more than 15,000 inquiries and
complaints about the scheme.

Idiot or liar?
Dianne Feinstein on the Broadcast Flag:
Idiot or liar?
06/24/2005 06:18 PMCory Doctorow:
Senator Dianne Feinstein wrote back to constituents who complained
about the Broadcast Flag with this amazing, disingenuous note:
Thank you for writing to me about the digital broadcast
flag. I appreciate hearing from you.
I feel strongly that we must prevent the theft of copyrighted
works, and that includes digital television (DTV) programming.
As we move forward in the digital age, it is increasingly easy for
unauthorized copies of copyrighted works to be made and illegally
distributed. Over-the-air digital content is the easiest to pirate.
As we contemplate the use of new technologies to protect
copyrighted works, we must pay careful attention to ensure that a
balance is struck between competitive protections and individual
consumer interests. It is important to allow for the continued fair
use of copyrighted material, even while we seek to stop
unauthorized reproductions from being illegally distributed outside
the home and over the Internet.
Again, thank you for writing. Please know that as the
Senate considers legislation of the broadcast flag, I will be sure to
keep your views in mind. If you should have any questions, please
feel free to contact my Washington, DC staff at (202) 224-3841.
Practically every sentence in this letter is a lie:
- As we move forward in the digital age, it is increasingly easy
for
unauthorized copies of copyrighted works to be made and illegally
distributed.
- Lie: Steps needed to put analog-broadcast video on your computer:
1. Install capture card; 2. Press record. Steps needed to put
digital-broadcast video on your computer: 1. Install capture card; 2.
Press record.
- It is important to allow for the continued fair
use of copyrighted material
- Lie: TiVo's TiVoToGo service -- designed to comply with the
broadcast flag -- limited the number of devices you could watch your
recorded videos on to a set number. Nothing about fair use says that
n devices is permissible, but n + 1 isn't. TiVoToGo
was one of the more permissive services -- systems like 5C and 4C have
no consideration for fair use (for example, you can't tell a 5C device
that you need to the ability edit a show that you plan on using in
connection with criticism or classroom use).
- even while we seek to stop
unauthorized reproductions from being illegally distributed outside
the home and over the Internet.
- Lie: because the broadcast flag does not restrict analog outputs,
there is nothing about the broadcast flag that prevents Internet
redistribution of digital television (steps needed to put broadcast
flag content on the Internet: 1. Connect tuner to PC via analog
cables; 2. Press record.)
This leaves us with only one question: is DiFi stupid, or is she a
liar? Either way, Feinstein should be ashamed of herself.

Thanks, Mark!)

We've heard rumors that the Broadcast Flag that Cory, the EFF, and
a coalition of pressure groups have fought so hard against (and beat
in the courts) will be sneaked back via an amendment to the giant
Senate Appropriations Bill in a sub-committee at 2PM EST on Tuesday
21st. This week is Hollywood's last chance to ram the flag past
Congress, and they're working hard to get it under the radar.
There's no time to write letters or start a media campaign: but
folk in the states below have just enough time to warn their senators,
who are all on the sub-committee. People of Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin - it's up to
you!
There's a sample script after the phone list. Remember: be cool,
collected and polite. Most of these senators won't know a thing about
the flag, until one of them makes it a throwaway amendment tomorrow.
Make sure their ears twitch when they hear "broadcast flag" today.

"It forces American innovators to beg the FCC for permission before

03/30/2005 11:09 PMWhile judges seemed

mandate a "broadcast flag," the one big stumbling block was that the
judges were
not
convinced that the groups who were suing (librarians, academics,
computer hobbyists) had any standing in the case. That is, it was not
clear that there was direct harm as a result of the flag. These
groups went back to the drawing table and worked up a brief
outlining the
potential harm the broadcast flag would do. If the judges find
the brief compelling, then they may tell the FCC it has no right to
impose a broadcast flag on technologies. This would be a big win in
allowing firms to

11/04/2003 07:12 PMWe've lost a round in the Broadcast Flag fight. The FCC today decided
that it didn't need to listen to the tens of thousands of Americans
that wrote to it, asking to have this terrible proposal set aside, and
instead adopted a rule proposed by billionaire movie studios whose
biggest problem is figuring out how to spend the riches they made off
the VCR after we saved their asses by telling them to get bent when
they tried to get the Betamax banned the last time around.
"The FCC today has taken a step that will shape the future
of television," said EFF Senior Intellectual Property
Attorney Fred von Lohmann. "Sadly, this represents a step in
the wrong direction, a step that will undermine innovation,
fair use, and competition."
"The broadcast flag rule forces manufacturers to remove
useful recording features from television products you can
buy today," said EFF Staff Technologist Seth Schoen. "The
FCC has decided that the way to get Americans to adopt
digital DTV is to make it cost more and do less."

How HDTV killed firefighters, birthed
the Broadcast Flag, and screwed America
How HDTV killed firefighters, birthed
the Broadcast Flag, and screwed America
03/29/2005 11:56 AMCory Doctorow:
This long, excellent article on the history of broadcast spectrum
allocation in America is the single best explanation of the mess that
we're in today. In short: greedy broadcasters tricked Congress into
giving them free spectrum for a second set of digital channels, so
that Americans who bought digital TVs would have something to watch.
Then they did nothing with them. Meantime, cops and firefighters and
EMTs are (literally) dying for some of that squat-upon spectrum so
that they can coordinate their rescue efforts. Remember how everyone
rhapsodized about how postmodern it was that the World Trade Center
rescuers used cellphones and Blackberries to stay in touch? It wasn't
because the private sector's phones are designed by smarter people
than the emergency-squads'. It's because there's no spectrum available
to emergency workers because the broadcasters (now largely owned by or
affiliated with movie studios and cable companies) have stolen it all
from the American public.
This stuff was used as the justification for the Broadcast Flag, too
-- spectrum allocation is practically the root of all evil in America,
when you get right down to it.
From the beginning, the key combatant has been the National
Association of Broadcasters, which organized itself into a lobby in
the 1920s, even before the Federal Communications Commission was
formed in 1934. For more than 75 years, the NAB has been fighting to
help the broadcasting industry hold on to its slice of the spectrum --
the frequencies TV and radio stations use for their broadcasts -- in
the face of demands from competing technologies and rival industries,
and even public safety concerns.
In the 1980s, when the FCC appeared ready to reallocate some of the
spectrum for public safety, the NAB persuaded Congress to block the
commission and hold off the change because, the broadcasters said,
they needed the spectrum to develop high-definition television. Yet
soon thereafter, the broadcasters abandoned HDTV, and it nearly died

frankly, it looks too difficult for me. The SocialText (I'm an investor and

am going to migrate the pages, another question is how to move the

On your marks... get set... LINK-FU!
On your marks... get set... LINK-FU!
11/06/2003 10:04 AMLink-Fu starts now! Here's a reminder, in case you missed Tuesday's
post:
Link-Fu is an online competition where during a specific,
pre-established period of time -- in this case, Thursday, November 6
from 9AM-12PM, Eastern Time -- you send us one url that links to some
very weird something somewhere. Something so bizarre and wild and
intriguing and fascinating, that no-one else (or as few nobodies as
possible) has seen.
Judges: Warren Ellis, Invi
sible Cowgirl, Mark, Pesco, and yours truly. We declare a winner based on
whatever we happen to like best. Not the grossest, not neccesarily
Farkish or Rotten. Just the flat-out most bizarre -- though
grotesquery is not neccesarily out of the question. In fact, here was last week's barfbag winner (WARNING: extremely distgusting,
NSFW, Cowgirl found it). The winner wins the title of High Master
of Link-Fu, until we hold the next battle.
Starting now, through 12PM EST (9AM Pacific), e-mail the funkiest,
most potently bizarro url-age you can find to linkfubattle@yahoo.com.
We will announce the winner Friday morning. May the best link win.

This it not a link to Paypal
03/14/2005 06:18 PMUnless you use a Firefox build from today then this paypal link will
look like it's going to Paypal.com, but it'll really go to
xn--pypal-4ve.com and not show you. Yikes! It even works with SSL
(just another one for showing that SSL as an authenticator is a waste
of time. Dear browser vendors, please stop the certificate insanity).
