CBS and other broadcasters are suing Aereo over its service using antenna and remote DVR technology to let subscribers watch live, local over-the-air television broadcasts, without making any payments to the creators of the programming.

CBS is the parent company of CNET.
You can tell.
Isn't their whole business model built around free tv stuffed with ads? By very design their consumers do not make any paymnets to the creators of the programming.
- bluedevil2k 13y agoNo, their business model is a combination of free TV stuffed with ads and gouging cable companies for the rights to rebroadcast their shows on cable TV. If Aereo wins in court, the cable companies will immediately clone Aereo to get around those rebroadcast fees.
