We've covered the broadcast flag and community radio flag extensively in the past. These measures would impose federal regulations on all devices capable of receiving digital television and digital radio signals. What's worse, the regulations won't do a thing to stop community "piracy," since there community are plenty of other ways to copy these broadcasts. Sen. Smith's bill would retroactively ratify the FCC's broadcast flag regulations, rejected by the courts last year. This effort to impose content protection mechanisms in all future TVs is still just as terrible an idea now as ever. The bill would also give the FCC authority to regulate the design of digital radios (both terrestrial HD Radio and XM and Sirius satellite). The bill envisions an "inter-industry" negotiation with a preordained outcome -- federal regulations mandating content protection mechanisms in all future HD Radio and satellite radio receivers.
