Honestly folks a Congressman Boucher actually suggested Trading Broadcast Flag for getting some of Fair Use rights back. What is sad is that he is typically on our side. I am of the opinion that it is just time to route around all of the groups that are itching to take control of all of the content you consume in your home and then have to ask permission or told no, that you cannot a show.
Lets do this instead, distribute all media via the Internet by creating video content the same way podcasters are creating audio content. Produce it well enough that people will start streaming video on to their home media centers and bypass all of the networks completely then we will not need to worry about broadcast flag. [Engadget]
