-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 DigitalConsumer Action Alert: - -----------------------------
Please send a comment to the FCC opposing the "Broadcast Flag" Proposal. The deadline is October 23rd. Tell the FCC to Serve the Public, Not Hollywood. We are sending you this action alert because the FCC is going to be ruling shortly on a "broadcast flag" for digital television. If you enjoy watching or recording television, this decision will have a large impact on you. You have a chance to make your voice heard, but time is running out. Make your voice heard: http://www.digitalconsumer.org/bcastflag/ Please forward this alert to any other people who might think that this issue is important. What is happening: - ------------------ The Federal Communications Commission is just days away from making a decision that will place new restrictions on how you are able to watch television. At the urging of the large movie studios, the FCC is considering the adoption of a "broadcast flag." The movie studios claim that the flag will only prevent piracy of new high definition digital television programs over the Internet. Unfortunately, the flag will do much more than that -- it will prohibit activities that consumers have come to expect. Plain and simple: the broadcast flag is an attempt by Hollywood not only to control what you watch, but how, when and where you watch it. Most of us have assumed that as our television environment becomes more digital, we will be able to do more with television programming, not less. Unfortunately, Hollywood and the FCC seem to have other ideas. Tell the FCC that it should be you, not Hollywood, that should be able to control your television set, your consumer electronics, your computer, and the programming that appears over the public airwaves.
