I'm not usually a big defender of big business, but what Aereo was doing did seem to me like a plain rip-off.
Though, they were just capturing signals that are freely flown in the air, yes? If this is right, I imagine the networks might just start doing what Aereo was doing and get more of that Internet money.
But I'm sort of floundering here. I haven't followed closely and I'm not sure about the technological issues. If my guesses are right, in the interest of justice, the networks should make a nice payment to Aereo for their innovation, if the networks take it up.
