Public Interest Groups Raise Consumer Questions About DTV Copy Protections - CDT, along with Consumers Union and Public Knowledge, have submitted detailed consumer questions to the House Commerce Committee regarding proposed new copy protections relating to digital television (DTV), including the so-called "broadcast flag." CDT believes content providers have an important interest in protecting materials broadcast in the clear over DTV. At the same time, protection mechanisms can have a broad impact on the cost and convenience of DTV, on future innovation on the Internet, and on whether reasonable consumer expectations about use and copying will be met.
