The broadcast flag is active, that is 5C.  What the courts struck down
was the requirement that all hardware being sold honor the flag.
Atleast that is what I understand.  This whole thread is kinda off the
original topic.  I will talk with Derek and James again, they are both
very interested in getting in contact with as many people as possible
who are having issues with this.  I don't want to post any email
addresses to the list without talking to them first.
