Broadcast Flag issues?   I’d like to write a nice article about the Broadcast Flag and what it is and isn’t.  Only problem, there is no good source of factual information at all on the web.  The Wikipedia entry doesn’t cite a single source [citation needed] about the technical aspect or implementation.  In fact, that 1000+ word entry only cited five sources, all of which are related to the votes and riders in the Senate.

My basic understanding of the Broadcast Flag (or most current concept) is that it does not limit recording.  The idea is to protect recordings.  Thus, the recent problems with Vista Media Center and NBC are more likely a bug in Media Center rather than NBC truly enabling the "Broadcast Flag."  However, it would be great if there was a recent (respectable) source that actually has information on the true implementation of the Broadcast Flag.
