Legal Issues Between Aereo and Broadcasters

The legal battle between internet Television Startup Aereo and main broadcasters, the DOJ advanced its opposition against TV streaming/DVR service Aereo. The Government’s Department of justice has filed a report in Supreme Court hearing that Aereo violated all the copyright rules and regulations of broadcasters. The report was to withdraw the decision that lower court make in Aereo’s favor. Company has fighting this case with broadcasters in entire country including NYC, Boston and Utah and most of them have won by Aereo. Now Broadcasters filed the report in Supreme Court and this will be a final hearing could end the case. The problem occurs when broadcasters find Aereo stealing the frequencies out of the air and showing them to customers illegally. But firm’s put an extra antenna above the TV each user can record the shows. Broadcasters have constantly losses the cases.

Aerero given an explanation “Last December, we decided to not oppose the broadcasters’ petition for certiorari before the United States Supreme Court. Today, we filed our response brief setting forth the basis for our steadfast conviction that Aereo’s cloud-based antenna and DVR technology falls squarely within the law. We have every confidence that the Court will validate and preserve a consumer’s right to access local over-the-air television using an individual antenna, make a personal recording with a DVR, and watch that recording on a device of their choice.”

Companies like Orange can cheat theirusers but Aereo is not a fraud as broadcasters submitted the report with all the accusations but something is wrong which is firm’s technology does not able to send anything from the board with user login, enable the antenna and tune it to any frequency. Antenna then makes its own steam which transmits to DVR and back to consumer.
