Am I as a consumer allowed to store my DVR material on hosted storage then have that stream to me later?
Then can my cloud provider cache and de-dupe content on their environment so that they don't need to have 4 copies of the same episode in cache?
I wonder, can a new company sell set top antennas that perform better than others, because they aggregate signals and can enhance the quality of your dvr material?
What next? Illegal for a user to colocate their own antenna equipment?
Sometimes, the law is wrong. This is one of those cases. Aereo attempted to comply with the law, and was told they failed. Fine. Keep fine tuning your business model until you're just within the confines of legality. That is how the law works, no?
There are two reasons I paid for Aereo:
1. I cannot receive a digital TV signal over the air where I live. 2. I wanted just local channels, but did not want to pay another $30-50/mo for other channels that I'm not going to watch.
The Hauppauge product solves neither of these problems.
Relocating the receiver to a metropolitan area greatly increases the number of people who can watch the content, and ads, that are being broadcast.
As much as I do not agree with Justices Roberts or Scalia, I agree with their dissent in this case. This decision makes no sense from a legal (or technological) perspective.
