Screw you, Consumers!
Cory Doctorow over on Boing Boing said if far better than I ever could regarding the recent ruling about the “Broadcast Flag” proposal.
The FCC today decided that it didn’t need to listen to the tens of thousands of Americans that wrote to it, asking to have this terrible proposal set aside, and instead adopted a rule proposed by billionaire movie studios whose biggest problem is figuring out how to spend the riches they made off the VCR after we saved their asses by telling them to get bent when they tried to get the Betamax banned the last time around.
Thanks so much :FCC:… :furious:
