That's really unfair. I mean Donald Knuth is old too and so are some fairly important figures. It's unreasonable to dismiss someone's argument based on his ag

That's really unfair. I mean Donald Knuth is old too and so are some fairly important figures. It's unreasonable to dismiss someone's argument based on his age (along with looks, race, etc.). Did you read his arguments? Do they make sense? Aereo's argument that these are private performances has a counter argument, which Kimball cited. His example was pay-per-view shows in hotels, which are private viewing but definitely public performances. Even in the NY case when Aereo won there was a dissenting judge who made a reasonable argument as well.
