content creators? thats quite a loose use of the word, given small fish are not being broadcast on aereo.

what the ruling really protects are the big media companies like disney & news corp, who not only charge advertisers for adspace, they also charge the cable companies to carry their channels.

the TV industry is not competitive. its oligopoly. its so bad that cablevision recently won an OK to go forward with an anti-trust suit accusing viacom of uncompetitive practices by forcing cable companies to carry 14 shit shannels in order to carry 4 good channels.

its the shenanigans of the "content creators" that is the root cause of overpriced cable in the first place.

so this ruling is only protecting a corporate golden egg that fleeces the consumer.
