control your television set. Every TV sold in the United States will
come equipped with an electronic circuit that will search incoming TV
programs for a tiny electronic flag. The MPAAs members will control
this flag, putting it into broadcast movies and television shows as they
see fit. If the flag is present, your TV will go into a special
high-security mode and lock down its high-quality digital outputs. If
you want to record a flagged program, youll have to do so on analog
tape or on a special low-resolution DVD. Any recording will be limited
to analog-quality sound. This security measure is not designed to
protect the television from viruses or computer hackersits designed to
protect TV programs from you. "
