NY appeals court OKs Aereo live television service

    Internet company offering inexpensive live television online."

Regardless of how you feel about Aereo, the odds are pretty good it
will be blocked eventually, 'cause, from a technical standpoint at
least, like the dissenting judge said in this decision, the "tiny
antennas" really are a sham, a clever way around the wording of
copyright law that will probably get stomped at some point.
