THE VERDICT: Aereo, a startup that takes live TV broadcasts and sends them to mobile devices, has won a partial victory in court over the media companies that are suing it.
WHAT’S LEFT: After a judge dismissed the claim of unfair competition, two claims of copyright infringement remain in a Fox-led suit as does a separate copyright lawsuit that includes ABC, CBS and NBC as plaintiffs.
THE ARGUMENTS: The broadcasters have argued that Aereo is copying and retransmitting their programming. Aereo contends that by assigning miniature antennas to each user, it is providing legal access to broadcasts.
