MPAA Giving Up on Broadcast Flag… For Now?

Huh; did their lawyers run out of cash? About time.

YetAnotherName writes “The MPAA,
which has worked hard to get a broadcast flag into US digital television, is
unlikely to push for it, according to the EFF. Previously, the US Court of
Appeals ruled that the FCC didn’t have the authority to mandate the flag, and
the MPAA began to strike back. Naturally, the fight isn’t over
yet.”<p> href='http://www.feedstermedia.com/feedster/adclick.php?bannerid=262&zoneid=10&source=&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fad.doubleclick.net%2Fclick%3Bh%3Dv2%7C3555%7C0%7C0%7C%252a%7Cm%3B16661332%3B0-0%3B0%3B11377231%3B31-1%7C1%3B10420157%7C10438053%7C1%3B%3B%253fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.architecturewebcasts.com'
