I agree that they could have done better on this point (and I've upvoted you). What I don't agree with though is that your answer hit the hot button. At least in the way the justice was "lob-lawing" the ball. The softball was "no technological reason .... other than to get around the copyright laws". Word "tech" is important. That's what you have to hit first. Consequently, Aereos's "loblaw" [1] should have said something that started out with "the technological reason is your honor that..." and then found some angle that dovetailed with the thought behind the scotus brain asking the question. Perhaps ending with the other rehetoric but not distracting from the intended answer.
