Unfotunately, I think the problem is that there is no law FORBIDDING
Microsoft from so doing. And from what I have seen posted on here, CE
manufacturers are fretting more about being sued by the media moguls for
not doing draconian things with these flags than they are worried about
being fined for abridging the consumers' rights.
"Making sure we are doing the right thing," they call it. Right by whose
definition?
