Is the EFF helping Aereo in this case?

  I believe they have been in the recent past: https://www.eff.org/cases/wnet-v-aereo https://www.eff.org/cases/wnet-v-aereo They also mention an amicus brief in the article, something that isn’t technically a legal defense but generally is the closest thing to it. From what I gather, EFF reports on cases that they care about, and would provide legal support if needed in addition to coverage. To answer a question that you haven’t asked: that would tend to support the idea that their coverage is biased. However, their bias is fairly transparent and well-known to HN readers; more importantly, I’m not familiar with a source providing that level of understanding with less bias (since Growker stopped blogging and Jay Zittrain hasn’t commented on this).
