Description of FCC Order on Digital Broadcast Content Protection

The Federal Communications Commission order on Digital Broadcast Content Protection was issued on November 4, 2003.

By a 5-0 vote, the Commission approved this rule mandating hardware vendors implement technology that recognizes a "flag" in digital broadcasts. The flag is intended to prevent the "indiscriminate" transmission over IP networks of copyrighted digital content. The FCC says vendors must comply with the broadcast flag requirements in all equipment by July 1, 2005. It applies to products such as digital VCRs, DVD players, and PCs, as well as others that can record digital content.
