Here's the most interesting comment made by Valenti:
"The broadcast flag -- if you are in your home, then you can copy
anything that?s on over-the-air television to your heart?s content. The
only time that you will know there?s a broadcast flag is if you try to
take one of those copies and redistribute it on the Internet. Then, the
flag says, ?No, you can?t redistribute it.? But you can do everything
you?re doing right now -- you?ll never know there?s a broadcast flag.
Well, why would people object to it?"
I had questioned before if rebroadcasting an OTA stream at my home via
IP multicast was legal or not. Good to see that indeed, it is.
Cheers
Kon
