this ruling is more complicated than an issue of content theft by aereo. Its about the mechanics & functioning of a free market & the effect of oligipoly in free markets & the governments role in ensuring free markets.
if our government was as ambitious at shutting down tubes, file lockers et al as they were with shutting down aereo, i am on your side! but thats not the facts is it?
our government does not protect all the people; it protects whoever can pay lawyers to bring lawsuits. its part of the theme that life is unfair & tilted to the wealthy. i just get unhappy when the government helps the rich to the detriment of the consumer.
