Title: Copyright Protection of Digital Audio Radio Broadcasts: The "Audio Flag"
Authors: Jared Huber and Brian T. Yeh, American Law Division 
Abstract: This report provides an explanation of the audio flag and its relationship to digital audio radio broadcasts, and summarizes legislative proposals considered by the 109th Congress, including H.R. 4861 (Audio Broadcast Flag Licensing Act of 2006) and S. 2686 (Digital Content Protection Act of 2006), that would have authorized its adoption. Although not enacted, these two bills represent approaches that may be taken in the 110th Congress to authorize the use of an audio flag for protecting broadcast digital audio content.
