...

I'm excited for the court's decision.

Aereo: We're selling an antenna.
Broadcasters: You are selling our content.

Fact is, they are doing both. The two are inseparable. The question is, is it illegal for Aereo to sell broadcaster content? If so, I think they are going down.

Kinda like arguing you aren't selling narcotics, just the the bag containing the narcotics.

If it is legal to put up an antenna and get the content for free, how is it illegal for Aereo to do the same for me and charge a small fee?

How is it legal to make money off the provider's content on not share the revenue with the provider?

They aren't making money off the provider's content. They are making money by putting up an antenna for me and capturing the signal for me to watch later.
