Re: It will be an easy, but expensive win for Aereo

If place shifting is an acceptable practice, then we are talking symantics about paying for a device versus paying for a service. The function is the same, as long as the company can guarantee that customers do not get channels which they are not supposed to get. But that's why they feel it is justified enough to go to court over.

Within those "symantics" lies a giant industry of very smart people who all went to law school and who are all being paid a ton of money to deal with the questions that you blithely wave off as simply answered. Not to mention the lobbyists and the politicians.

I like to understand the details and look at the actual status of what's really been decided and what's up for decision. I find that much more interesting.
