An anonymous reader writes "CNet is reporting that the courts have
struck down the FCC's broadcast flag requirement! 'In a stunning victory
for hardware makers and television buffs, a federal appeals court has
tossed out government rules that would have outlawed many digital TV
receivers and tuner cards starting July 1.'" The EFF has details on the
flag, the official ruling is online for examination, and commentary is
available from BoingBoing and Ars Technica.
