Broadcast Flag is a means for signaling that digital over-the-air broadcast television programming, transmitted “in-the-clear” by terrestrial TV stations, is to be protected against unauthorized retransmission including its’ unauthorized redistribution over the Internet. Detection and response to the Broadcast Flag does not mean less functionality for video devices, including PCs that receive DTV. Rather it adds to these devices the ability to determine the difference between protected and unprotected works. The MPAA and its member companies have no desire to reduce the functionality of PCs or other devices and in fact want them to be MORE functional, not less. That is, so that they are able to provide a secure environment for digital over-the-air broadcast television content, in addition to everything else they do today.
