-- quote from article -- Under the FCC rule, programmers can attach a code, or flag, to digital broadcasts that would, in most cases, bar consumers from sending unauthorized copies of popular shows over the Web. -- end quote --
This one always gets me a good laugh. A little known fact ( Probably more widely known to people on this list. ) is that the great majority ( maybe 99% for large video media files ) of all content on so-called "peer2peer" sites is scene content. Meaning it was prepared by a specific underground group, sent off to the top sites, and made it's way down from there, getting repackaged along the way. ( People don't like rar archives or something. ) Recently, with the advent of bittorrent, many users got a peek into this world, and got to download original scene content. The point here is that the broadcast flag will have no affect at all on large video media internet trading. In fact ,I would argue that it would make the statistical probability you would get a well done encoding much higher, because all the content that's there will be from the scene. Rather then being encoded by your 12 year old cousin haxor using vidomi. -- Anthony Vito [EMAIL PROTECTED]
