The Broadcast Flag, She Is Dead

[Gizmodo](http://www.gizmodo.com/:) “The MPAA’s totally excellent adventure of forcing a broadcast flag down our throats has gone tits-up thanks to House Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX). This means that your TiVo won’t have to phone the Man so you can send that episode of Desperate American Idols Want to Be Hiltons Island to your PMP.”

YEAH!!!
