FCC Takes It In The Shorts
Public Knowledge and the Electronic Frontier Foundation(EFF) are reporting that the FCC had their hat handed to them by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. In an audacious move, the FCC attempted to take control of your television, your personal computer, and your Tivo/Personal Video Recorder(PVR) all in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the court told the FCC that they had no authority beyond 'wardrobe malfunctions'. Unfortunately, the FCC is going back to Congress to request the necessary authority to control everything electronic in your house.
