FCC
The FCC went ahead and issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the broadcast flag today. So I am already working on EFF's comments. If you want to comment, your comments will be due by October 30. This is a big deal; if you don't know why, take a look through Consensus at Lawyerpoint, or ask me.

Our response to this NPRM is going to keep me busy for a long time, and it's going to be pretty interesting. I think it's shaping up to be a pretty interesting fight. The FCC is likely to take some of our concerns a bit more seriously than the BPDG took them the first time around. But we'll have to lay them out clearly and carefully. So here we go.
