Obama Signs TV Commercial Volume Law
President Obama has signed a new law requiring TV broadcasters to back
down on the volume of those pesky commercials that suddenly blast your
eardrums.
The CALM (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) Act, signed by
President Obama on December 15, requires broadcasters to install
technology ensuring that commercials air at a volume no louder than
the programs in which they appear.
Final enactment of the CALM Act represents the end of a long
legislative battle for U.S. Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-California, 14th),
who first introduced the bill in 2008.
"The country will now get the relief they deserve from the annoyance
of blaringly loud television commercials," said Rep. Eshoo in a press
statement. "Consumers will no longer need to dive for the 'mute'
button during commercial breaks."
The law directs the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) to
implement and enforce the commercial volume limitation regulation.

Other newer TVs have a new thingie called a remote that allows you to
control the volume without even getting up!

Networks Battle Dish Over Ad-Skipping Service
(CN) - Dish Network and three major television networks each filed
lawsuits over Dish's new on-demand service, which lets customers
record hours of television and then watch it commercial-free.
CBS, Fox and NBC each filed federal complaints against Dish for
copyright infringement Thursday in Los Angeles. In New York, Dish
filed its own federal complaint for a ruling that it has not violated
the broadcasters' copyrights.
The networks say Dish's Primetime Anytime service allows the
"unauthorized copy" of almost 100 hours of network programming every
eight days. The service is available to Dish customers who rent a
Hopper set top box.
"To make matters worse," Dish customers can use a remote-free
function called Auto Hop to skip commercials automatically, according
to the complaint filed by Fox Broadcasting Co. and its affiliates.
