Supreme court: Aereo is violating copyright law [pdf]

This doesnt make sense. You are paying for renting the antenna. You're not paying for the content.

This is precisely why old people shouldn't be anywhere near tech.

The Supreme Court is wrong- the reason cable companies are treated as a 'public' performance of a work is that their distribution medium is shared- any subscriber can tune into that broadcasting of that work over a shared common carrier where one copy of the work is transmitted and many subscribers can view it. Aereo is different in that it only transmits the signal captured to a single subscriber at a time, removing the 'public' nature of the performance and hence invalidating their argument. How absurd.
