URGENT: Re-kill the broadcast flags

If your Senator sits on the Commerce Committee, call NOW to support the Sununu amendment to the Senate telecom bill. The bill as it is now written would instruct the FCC to ban any new digital TV or radio receivers that did not obey the draconian copyright wishes of the broadcasters. Sununu’s amendment completely removes the entire broadcast flag section.

See this Public Knowledge blog post for more details, a list of Senators’ phone numbers, and some suggested talking points.
