CDT Urges Caution on Broadcast Flag at Senate Hearing - CDT today warned lawmakers that imposing a "broadcast flag" regime to protect copyrighted video content would involve significant government regulation of technology design and would carry risks to both technology innovation and legal consumer uses of digital television. Testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee, CDT Executive Director Leslie Harris said that if Congress opts to impose a flag regime despite those concerns, such legislation would have to include carefully crafted safeguards and limitations, rather than giving the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a blank check.
