Stop the MPAA’s broadcast flag

Lawrence Lessig does a nice, concise job of explaining why we need to tell the FCC not to accept the MPAA’s attempts to introduce a broadcast flag.

Thus, two of the key parts in the history of internet innovation — end-to-end and free and open source software — are regulated away by this.” The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a nifty letter up that will allow you to send your comments to the FCC.
