The Maine Attorney General’s Office has given up its fight to defend a law that would have required cable TV providers to give subscribers the option of purchasing access to individual cable channels rather than bundled packages.

They argued in part that the law violated their First Amendment rights by infringing on the “editorial discretion” of programmers and cable operators.
