The broadcast flag is a piece of software code, embedded by broadcasters in their digital television signals, that dictates permissible uses of the signal.
By providing broadcasters with increased control over the copying of their broadcasts, the rules may eliminate many rights users take for granted, such as the ability to "time shift" a program by copying a broadcast for future, personal viewing.

 [No title]
Furthermore, broadcasters are merely being loaned the digital spectrum with the requirements that the analog channels be returned for auction after digital is established.
And certainly not because broadcasting, the prime information and news medium, has a government mandate to make a "social contract" with their communities, outlining how many hours and what types of public interest programming they must air to mollify government regulators.
The simple fact is that broadcasters enter into a "social contract" with their communities every day when they transmit their programs and the public votes its approval or disapproval every day through audience ratings.

 Recommendations of the Advisory Committee
Broadcasters must identify and describe the programming, when it was aired, and how it meets the broadcasters' obligation to serve the public.
Broadcasters should work with appropriate emergency communications specialists and manufacturers to determine the most effective means to transmit important information that will be minimally intrusive on bandwidth and not result in undue additional burdens or costs on broadcasters.
Under this model, broadcasters would be given the choice of maintaining the existing regime of public interest obligations, or of paying a share of revenues to bypass those obligations, while receiving in return an expedited license renewal process.

The problem is that broadcasters are sitting on a huge chunk of valuable spectrum space they thought would be carrying HDTV signals by now.
Assured repeatedly by broadcasters and the TV industry that a more sophisticated version of HDTV was just around the corner, lawmakers directed the FCC to grant broadcasters an extra channel of spectrum -- at no charge -- to develop HDTV.

 Consumers Union FCC Filing on the Newspaper/Broadcast Ownership Rule
Eliminating a newspaper or broadcast voice deprives all citizens of an independent voice and will likely diminish the welfare of the "non-majority"; their economic and political need for news, information, and other vital content will be under-served even in a well-functioning market.
We show that people rely on newspapers and broadcast television for different kinds of information, depth of analysis, spend vastly different amounts of time with each, consume them in different environments, and pay for them in different ways.
If local television broadcasters were allowed to merge with local newspapers, combining the two most important means by which consumers obtain news and information, the combined owner's editorial bias and economic incentives to under-serve the needs of minorities will skew public discourse and thereby harm our nation's democracy.

 Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes ~   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
As Michael Geist writes, "U.S. broadcasters and the MPAA have actively lobbied for the creation of the World Intellectual Property Organization's Treaty for the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations.
And in the mean time, we have the proposed Induce Act, (More)which could have the effect of making Apple responsible for illegal uses of the iPod, or TiVo responsible for illegal recording of television broadcasts (TiVo, interestingly, is reported to be making a deal with Netflix to offer movies on demand).
The author also comments (correctly) that copyright has moved from the realm of the commercial into the personal - and that, therefore, "activities of millions of individuals — including judges — who will increasingly question standards of what is right and wrong through the lens of their own actions." As it should be.

 IP Justice: WIPO Documents and Treaties
It grants broadcasting companies a slew of new rights based on the "fixation" of a broadcast signal.
However, broadcast signals exist in the air and "dissolve" upon reception and therefore cannot, as a matter of simple physics, become "fixed" as much of the treaty presumes.

For example, a broadcaster may seek an extension if 15 percent or more of consumers in its market cannot view digital broadcasts, whether via cable, satellite, digital receivers, or analog televisions with converter boxes.
Consistent with the statute, the Media Bureau proposal would count consumers toward the 85 percent that can view digital broadcasts even if they were watching on analog televisions in ordinary definition over their cable or satellite service.
Section 309 is not about promoting high-definition television directly, but about reclaiming the analog spectrum as soon as possible while minimizing the number of consumers who must take additional steps after the transition to continue watching television.
