> What's different about Aereo's model, other than the scale? From a legal perspective the wording of the contract between parties matters an awful lot. A quick look at Areo's site shows they are offering something very different. If your property owner and neighbor entered a similar contract for these services I suspect they would indeed face the same legal risks. Once you become a middle man who is tuning/transcoding/transporting you fit the mold of a cable TV service provider far more than a property owner leasing land.
