"Don't Copy That Show! That's an Order!"

Greetings. As I've discussed previously, the Federal Communications Commission has ruled that broadcasters will have control over what U.S. viewers will be able to record from digital TV, via a "broadcast flag" that will directly limit the operations of digital recording equipment.

Fact Squad Radio now takes a tongue-in-cheek look at where this might end up, in the short MP3 audio segment "Don't Copy That Show! That's an Order!".
