  Except libraries have special carve-outs for copyright, while the communications act requires broadcaster consent for "multichannel video programming distributors." Ultimately the lesson of Aereo is that it is incredibly difficult to predict court rulings when in anything close to a gray area. Aereo had a viable case after the Fox v. Cablevision precedent, but ultimately lost.
