Aereo Creator Prepared for 'Great Fight' As New Alternative Basic Cable Service Takes on Industry Fox network founder Barry Diller recently unveiled a new service dubbed Aereo, which for $12 a month hopes to take over the air broadcasts from major networks and stream them to phones, tablets, and connected televisions. The service, to be launched first as a trial in New York City, is intended to supplement viewing options for users who have cut the cord in favor of Netflix, Hulu, (and/or piracy), replacing the basic cable connection. As expected, broadcasters quickly filed suit claiming the service violates copyright law. Diller isn't backing off however and over the weekend at SXSW had plenty to say about the industry's attempt to sue Aereo out of existence: "So long as you have an address, you have a right to public broadcasting," said Diller..."I said to the broadcasters, 'One thing that might happen is you'll get more audience,'" said Diller. "They said, 'That's fine. Now pay us retransmission money.' I said, 'When you get Radio Shack to pay you some slice of their profit when they sell an aerial, we'll pay you anything you like, but we're not transmitting anything.'" Diller insists it's "going to be a great fight."

I see nowhere where he even comments on his likelihood of, or confidence in, winning. | |

That's like saying that the rights of any writer should end once their book hits the bookstores. Or a painter once their art is exhibited publicly. Or a musician once their record is played on the radio. Is that what you think?
You are denying the basic principle of copyright, which was designed to allow creators to own their works and decide how, when, under what terms, and for how much compensation those works can be performed. | |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  wentlancYou Can't Fix Dumb.. join:2003-07-30 Maineville, OH | Re: Going to be a great fight? Can you honestly say that any of the content creators are getting paid by OTA broadcasts? Really? Lets put it in more realistic context.
If the writer allows their book to be in a public library, then it is already free for all to use.
If the artist puts their art in public view, then people are free to view and be inspired.
If the musician puts their song on the radio, then the public can recieve it for only the cost of a radio, and electricity.
None of these gains the creators a DIME directly, but could generate indirect sales as people see or hear their works. The content creators would be more than willing to get their works into more peoples hands to gain popularity. The hinderance is the distribution channel that currently exists, which makes money off of delivery, and not the content. Simplifying delivery only threatens the revenue streams of delivery companies, not content creators.
We are arguing symantics about how a person recieves something that they are legally entitled to recieve. We are talking about fair use of a signal to get it from the air to where I watch it. This has nothing to do with copyright. | |

| Re: Going to be a great fight? It does have to do with copyright, because you have ignored "intended audience" from all of your examples. COPYright. If the intended audience is "people with antennas able to received the electronic signals from a tower located ____ ", then to take that signal and COPY it for a different audience falls under copyright law. It would require change/defeat of the copyright laws to win this. "Fair use" ends when you distribute outside of your own personal use. If I took a picture of that public displayed artwork and put it on my pay-to-see website, I am no longer under "fair use".
I personally hope Diller is victorious, but doubt he will pull this off without paying each affiliate delivered a retrans fee per subscriber and include zip code based IP address blackouts. -- Show off that hardware: join Team Discovery and Team Helix | |

And thus entice politicians to line up behind him so they, too, can bask in the glow of goodness and get voters' attention.
Another theory is that Diller is just trying to show that he won't roll over so easily in a negotiation. Maybe he really intends to license the transmissions, but wants to beat down the fees. | |

|  |  |  |  |  Oh_NoTrogglus normalus join:2011-05-21 Chicago, IL | Re: It will be an easy, but expensive win for Aereo If you were a lawyer you would be agreeing with me. There are 3 specific things going on here and only one of them has to be deemed illegal for you to be right.
1. An end user watching OTA broadcasts on their TV 2. An end users leasing an antenna and equipment from a company to connect to their TV 3. An end user connecting their leased antenna to a device like another tv, computer, or phone over a long cord for their for private personal viewing only.
Please tell me how any of those are illegal???? Oh, wait you cant.
1. Is legal or no one can watch OTA tv 2. Is legal or you could not rent or lease anything that shows anything copyrighted, you would have to buy it out right. 3. Copyright law would have to set a limit on the distance you can be from your antenna to make this illegal. Right now this does not exist.
For Aereo to be illegal they have to change the law, this change would also then make slingboxes illegal | |

| Re: It will be an easy, but expensive win for Aereo Don't argue with this Oh_No guy, no matter how much fact and reality you bring to the table, and hold up in front of him, he will keep repeating his contentions over and over. I went through this on the last Aereo thread. He is like the song from the Music Man about Iowans. "And we're so by God stubborn / We could stand touchin' noses / For a week at a time / And never see eye-to-eye"
But... despite my warning to you.... here goes.
Your first three cases are all legal to do without obtaining a separate license in that they have not been ruled illegal. Case 1 is basic reception of a broadcast signal by a TV. Case 2 is CATV, where there's one big antenna and everyone connects to it. Case 3 is SlingBox, where an end user place-shifts the feed over the Internet.
Important to note that case 2 is NOT today's Cable TV, which DOES have to license the stream. Why? Because they capture and rebroadcast the stream in a different form for the end user, as a paid service. It's not just a straight delivery of the received signal to the TV.
Important to note that case 3 is NOT Aereo. Why? Because Aereo captures and rebroadcasts the stream in a different form for the end user, as a paid service. Why is this not Slingbox? Those magic words: "paid service". SlingBox is NOT a paid service, it is a hardware device that the end user purchases and owns and operates ON HIS/HER OWN.
So get this straight Oh_No: an end user can placeshift (SlingBox) or timeshift (DVR) a broadcast, on their own, using their own hardware. That's legal and allowed under the standard license. But if a COMPANY offers a PAID SERVICE doing placeshifting or timeshifting FOR THE END USER, that is NOT legal and is a copyright violation, unless of course they've acquired the required licenses from the owners.
Hey, this may change sometime, but that's the way it is, and has been held by the courts for many moons now. | |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  Oh_NoTrogglus normalus join:2011-05-21 Chicago, IL | Re: It will be an easy, but expensive win for Aereo Case 3 is Aereo. 'broadcasting' is to multiple people which aereo does not do. They lease you the antenna and tuner and dvr that you connect your viewing device to with a long cord for private viewing only. Aereo 'broadcasts' nothing. If you want to call it 'retransmission' then a OTA tuner box I connect to my TV does the exact same 'retransmission' when I connect it to my analog tv - it even changes the format of the digital video signal and sends it over a cord to my analog tv.
So you are saying it is illegal to lease a antenna, tuner, dvr, or any other media equipment to a customer for their singular private only viewing??
No court has upheld this. I went over this in another topic and linked to the zediva dvd service injuction. Companies run out of money and settle. There has been no court ruling saying leasing equipment with a long cord is illegal yet. This is why Aereo is doing what they are doing. It is not illegal by ANY court ruling or any current law. | |

Leasing one antenna to multiple people 'could' be viewed/argued as rebroadcasting but again there is no law for this yet. | |

| Re: I still don't get said by Jim_in_VA:why broadcasters object to this. Their paying advertisers get a broader audience. Their programming gets a broader audience. Their revenue increases via more connections. What is the objection? Very good question. I think from their POV that they have their little empire that they manage and control, namely the rights to broadcast their national network in their local area for OTA, and to sell the rights to carry their network to local redistributors (cable, satellite). They believe this is their empire by law and by right. And, BTW, this has been held up in courts over and over again. This is how the Congress and the FTC set up local broadcasting.
When they see an Aereo come along, who is taking THEIR FEED and using it in ways they have NOT LICENSED, they view it as a violation and sue. They do not see it as an opportunity, they see it as a threat.
For one thing, part of their rights includes the right to sell the local affiliate commercial slots. This is big bucks in a large market like NYC. They can sell the slots directly to companies who want to advertise (or politicians in an election year), and they can also sell the rights to the slots to the non-OTA carriers of their feed, who can then resell them. Somebody like Aereo messes up this scheme, because they have now lost control of the audience demographics, which is key to setting ad buy rates.
(Of course, you will argue that DVRs have ALREADY messed up the scheme, and you would be partially correct. Nonetheless... the broadcasters have already made their grudging peace with timeshifting.) | |
|  |  |  |  |  |  | | I wont contribute to the argument being that there are way to many unknown variables but I will point out that when online games started becoming popular many of the game companies thought it was their right to be paid by companies that made it possible to play online against others for a fee. Their argument was that since those companies made money using their game as an attraction they are entitled to payment.
I hope today we all see how clearly flawed their logic was at that time. My main point in this reminder is to state just because they THINK they are entitled and do things pushing towards that entitlement, in no way whatsoever makes it correct. Whether or not what this company does will be seen as rebroadcast or not will be determined by the courts assessment of the technology. | |

I'm not sure Aereo changes this at all, the commerial spots are still being sold, Aereo is not changing the commericals by putting in their own. The advertisers would be getting a bigger audience.
This issue that would or may come up is out-of-area viewing of the stations,

| Re: I still don't get Yes, I see your points, and the thing I'm trying to get across is that generically "making the audience bigger" actually does little or nothing to increase advertising revenue for the broadcaster, unless it can be quantified and qualified.
Put yourself in the shoes of a media buyer, who is negotiating with a local station for ad buy rates on a particular slot. The local station says to you, "Hey! These Aereo guys are increasing your audience, so you should pay more for your ad placements." Your obvious response is, "Why? Can you tell me how many more people are watching? And what their demographics are?" The station has no answer for this.
Another piece of information for you: in the USA we also have "must carry" laws for local stations on cable franchises. The difference is that local stations can EITHER invoke "must carry" and get no retransmission fee, OR can negotiate with the cable service for a retransmission fee. | |

| Re: Change in signal format by Aereo. Very interesting point. I forgot about those. Shame on me, I was raised in Chicago, where high rise buildings used those antenna systems. But that was in the days before Chicago had cable television. The local broadcast stations did not care how much money you put into getting their signal. They did not care if you spent $250 dollars on a portable television set to get their signals in the city parks or along the beach. The more viewers the better. So if a high rise building owner added several dollars per month to the rent to maintain the common antenna access system, the broadcast station owners did not view it as taking profit that belonged to them. They viewed it as more viewers and more advertiser dollars per advertisement spot. | |
