Aereo

Following the Supreme Court’s decision, Aereo has attempted unsuccessfully (in the words of Judge Nathan) “to turn lemons into lemonade” by using the Supreme Court’s characterisation of the Aereo service to argue that it is entitled to a compulsory license for internet retransmissions. Last week, the US District Court of the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction against the Aereo service, rejecting Aereo’s argument that it is a “cable system”.
