Supreme Court Will Hear Aereo Case, Settling The Broadcaster Battle Once And For All

suprememcourtAereo, a streaming TV startup backed by media mogul Barry Diller, has been embroiled in a legal battle with network broadcasters for the better part of this year. But the case has finally reached the home stretch, as the supreme court today decided to take on the issue and settle the matter once and for all. Aereo takes OTA signals out of the air through miniature antennas and streams that content over the internet to any device for a low monthly fee. It's the first major step toward disrupting the current TV/cable subscription model. Obviously, broadcasters aren't happy with it, despite the fact that courts have deemed Aereo to be as legal as cloud-based DVR or using rabbit ears.
