I got away because the cop was busy with another crime......yours!
Your claim that the consumer is fighting back by turning to netflix and hulu is 180 degrees from the reality.
These companies pay the proper fees to do what they do.
You keep trying to make it legal for other people to NOT pay the fees.
The only thing illegal about these websites and services is that they refuse to pay the fees.
You think it's free because you watch it for free; but there is this thing called "Copy Rights" that allows a content creator to grant "Broadcasting Rights".
That ain't free.
That has to be paid by the broadcaster so they can show it to you for free.
I don't really get what's so hard to understand.
You pay for the content and then you can show it for free.

as i indicated in a recent post, i support the edward snowdens & rosa parks of the world that break laws which are harming people. given the way Big Media is using their copyright, i have no problem that aereo skipped out the carraige fees. those fees should be illegal anyway. Before cable, studios used to make their money on just the ads. that business model worked. Cable gave the studios a way to make more money, by charging cable companies to carry their popular channel. Now cable cos have to buy 14 channels to get 4 good ones from 1 studio. look how often channels get blacked out nowadays on cable networks due to the way Studios are jacking up carraige fees faster than health insurance companies. They are behaving like monopolists.
The big money for big media is the carraige fee. or else they would embraced aereo & increased their ad pricing due to the higher number of viewers they got with the new way of delivering content. But its most important to protect that golden egg, the carraige fee. & nobody can build a legal aereo because Big Media wont allow it. Thats why Apple TV (which was supposed to be a la carte pricing) never happened. Even Jobs could not stop the monopolists from their shenanigans.
