   Short version: Unless a higher court reverses the reversal, the court says 
that, under current law, FCC cannot require the broadcast flag.

   While I'm as happy as the next freedom-loving techie about this, I expect 
this just means the media cartel will return to Congress and buy the 
legislation they want.  They always have in the past.
