Here's the problem. This says you can only make one copy of "pay television transmissions, non-premium subscription television, and free conditional access delivery transmissions." Well - the only way they can currently guarantee that you can't make more than one copy is to ensure that you can't make *any* copies... Thus enter the broadcast flag. :-( Correct me if I'm wrong by someone interpretting this differently...but this seems like a logical loophole for them. -b
