>1) Why don't you trust them?
It may be a selective memory thing, but in my eyes the current court tends to lean towards the interest of big business (Aereo being much smaller than ABC, et al).
> 2) What's so defensible about a business model that is based entirely on taking advantage of someone else's product?
The networks already broadcast the signal for anyone with an antenna to receive. If I own (or rent) a house or apartment where adding an antenna is not feasible (especially as a renter), I don't see why I can pay someone else to setup an antenna and DVR for me.
Does it make a difference that Aereo houses all the antennas in one location? If they were an antenna rental/installation (in your home) company would there be any argument?
