The FCC is out of control  


From: FCC seeks legitimization of HUGELY expanded charter
The broadcast flag rule, distilled to its essence, is a mandate that all consumer electronics manufacturers and information technology companies ensure that any device that touches digital television content encrypt that content and protect it against unauthorized onward distribution.
The FCC has certainly extended its reach far beyond its charter. I really expect this to go to the Supreme Court. And I have a feeling that it will get smacked down big time.
