Broadcast Flags

It looks as if, thanks to readers from Slashdot, BoingBoing and Instalanch, their will not be a hidden bill to place Broadcast flags in TV signals. Apparently when word got out that there was only 48 hours to stop this, these readers deluged the members of the Senate Appropriations Committee with more than 11,000 emails and faxes. That's nearly 500 faxes an hour, not to mention an untold number of phone calls telling them their feelings on the subject.

Way to go!
