said by Kearnstd:said by MyDogHsFleas:Commercials have nothing to do with copyrighted material. It's illegal to copy and reuse copyrighted material, regardless of whether you include the commercials or not.
However it is not a copy, It is a format conversion from an OTA Antenna to a stream. And it is technically only available in the broadcast area.
That is why this case is not open and shut in the courts. If it were just about copyright it would be case closed for Aero.
It is not a format conversion either in the legal sense.
