But the movie theater doesn't care if I take a taxi or drive my leased car. They don't even care if I steal a car and give rides to a bunch of my friends as long as we all buy a ticket. The television companies don't want me to be able to take a taxi to their theater. I say it doesn't matter how I get there. Have I muddled the analogies enough or should I keep going? Yes you are technically correct, there are other differences. What I'm saying is that none of the differences matter. Frankly the television companies should be embracing Aereo and anything else that makes it easier for them to pump their sugar commercials into our children's brains.
