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.

You and I may have differences but you seem like a decent guy.
The government wasn't ambitious about shutting down Aereo either.
The
companies who had the most to lose were ambitious about shutting down Aereo.
They did what ADULT AS AN INDUSTRY SHOULD DO BUT WONT ....
They took it all the way to the Supreme Court and won.
That's our civil judicial system.. that's how it works.
AND ...
You keep brining up the consumer.
Why should a company be made to price THEIR product in such a way that you think is fair?
That's ridiculous IMO.
You charge $25 for 30 days ... Someone else charges $40 and another charges $14
Your site, you get to set the price.
