...Copy Control Association, claim that the sites guide users to software known to be illegally pirated. The illegality claim is based on the belief that the hackers either used stolen trade secrets or illegal "reverse engineering" to crack the DVD encryption. But groups that promote the free flow of software "emulators" of anything from DVDs to Sony PlayStations over the Web claim the DVD emulator's inventors stole nothing, but merely figured out how DVDs work.

That flies in the face of longtime programming principles of "audience flow"--scheduling shows that appeal to similar audiences together. Nor can the agreement force the networks to keep low-rated shows on the air or force advertisers to pay high rates for commercial time on them. While studies show that blacks watch far more television than non-blacks--about 70.4 hours...
