That said,
Big or small .. this represents prior case law from SCOTUS. So it does protect "content creators" of all sizes.

yes. all content creators are covered but in reality, who are the content creators that are actually effected? just ones who are big enough to broadcast a TV signal in a city. & the studios that create the TV shows that go over those broadcast signals.
the point of aereo was to give consumers more choice, & to disrupt the business model of studios charging carriage fees when the channel is concurrently broadcast for free.
SCOTUS handed a win to the forces holding back technological advancement, price gouging customers & doing everything they can to give consumers as few options as possible so they can charge monopoly prices to deliver ESPN to your home, whether you want ESPN or not.
if you can articulate what good this judgement does for consumers & small producers, im all ears.
