WASHINGTON - The government on Tuesday approved an anti-piracy mechanism to make it harder for computer users to illegally distribute digital TV programs on the Internet.
In its order, the Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) told makers of digital television receivers that by July 1, 2005, their models must recognize an electronic marker that broadcasters can embed in their programs to limit piracy.

What's the deal with this? I thought this issue was settled by the Supreme Court years ago.
