Just means that the next target will be the politicians, to get them to legislate the broadcast flag, or to expand the FCC authority so they can mandate it. This is only round one.

If I was a verminous lawyer, my next move would be to get a ruling on what constitutes “transmission by wire”. The signal moves, via wire, within the unit.

Personally, I hope this evil bit of legislation stays dead.

Let’s not lose our focus or vigilence here - this is surely not the last attempt by media conglomerates to exercise undue control over consumer’s rights.

“In a surprise move today?” Friday’s ruling was no real surprise to me…

I love this though…Judge Harry T. Edwards to the FCC’s lawyer “Are washing machines next?”
