Reuters says:
A federal appeals court Tuesday gave consumer advocates a chance to bolster their legal challenge of a rule designed to limit the copying of digital television programs.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit gave opponents two weeks to further explain a key legal point in the case — how they would be harmed by the new Federal Communications Commission's "broadcast flag" rule.
Two of the three judges said further explanation was needed to prove that opponents such as the American Library Association had legal standing to challenge the rule in court. This is good news for the proponents of the Broadcast Flag, since during the oral argument the court gave them a good battering on the merits. If they are to win, it must be on the issue of standing to sue.
