Copyright Offize Jumps Into Set-Top Box Debate, Says Hollyw00d Should Control Your TV

The FCC’s plan would let cable and satellite subscribers choose the devices and apps they can use to access pay TV content instead of being limited to the leased set-top boxes and walled-garden apps provided by the cable and satellite companies. That’s not just a great goal; it’s also the law—Congress ordered the FCC to pursue this goal all the way back in 1996, but cable companies and TV producers have fought against it for over 20 years. Choice and competition threaten cable and content companies’ power to control what programming gets seen or ignored, how we can search for it, and who can build the hardware and software.
