I think the proper way to characterize what Hollywood is doing is to say: If you want your PC to play in the entertainment space, then it must obey OUR rules. There is nothing in the Broadcast Flag rules to prevent you from building a completely legal PC media center. It is just a matter of preventing your customer of doing things that they have come to expect from a PC. But compliance is feasible...at a price.
