TV Broadcasters not Happy that TV-streaming Service Aereo Wins in Court Empty TV Broadcasters not Happy that TV-streaming Service Aereo Wins in Court

But it's the source of Aereo's content that has landed the company in court, even before it could gather a sizable audience: It is essentially capturing over-the-air television broadcasts — remember, the kind that come in free through antennas, instead of via cable boxes?
When Aereo first launched in March 2012 in New York City, two groups of major television broadcasters filed separate suits alleging copyright infringement, since Aereo retransmits without a license. Plaintiffs included ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS and NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
But a federal district court denied the broadcasters' request for a preliminary injunction against Aereo, and that decision was affirmed by the federal court of appeals on April 1.
