FCC Approves Content Protection Systems
The Federal Communications Commission today approved 13 content
protection technologies under its new broadcast flag rules for digital
television (DTV), including a controversial proposal by TiVo. TiVo's
system would allow consumers to view recorded programs from any of 9
devices they register. Under the flag rules, DTV receivers sold after
July 2005 will have to include one of the approved technologies to
protect programs from indiscriminate redistribution online. Today's
approvals were a victory for consumers, but concerns remain about the
use of the flag rules to stifle innovative new uses of television in
the digital age. August 04, 2004
