TV Broadcasters Petition for <i>En Banc</i> Review of <i>Aereo</i> Ruling
Major New York broadcasters eager to shut down streaming television service Aereo have petitioned the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for an en banc review of a ruling that upheld a lower court decision denying an injunction against the broadcasting startup. (A PDF of the petition is available at http://bit.ly/13pj2nD.)
The broadcasters, which include WNET, Fox Television Stations, Univision, and the Public Broadcasting Service, were disappointed in the Second Circuit's 2-1 decision on April 2, 2013, in which they agreed with Aereo's argument that its service does not offer a public performance and is therefore not infringing copyrights. See, 'TV Networks Not Likely to Prevail Against Online Service Aereo,' New York Law Journal.
