Meanwhile, the MPAA will keep briefing House and Senate members on a broadcast flag bill's importance and seek other ways to get the content protections it wants."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/MPAA.jpg" /> <br /><br />Well maybe we are dodging a bullet here, but you just can't tell how this will all work out. I hate to be pessimistic, but just because it misses this bill doesn't mean we are out of the woods yet. Stay tuned.
