Aereo Says Supreme Court Shouldn't 'Rewrite' Copyright

In a 100-page brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court, Aereo, which streams over-the-air television programming with antenna/DVR technology, reiterated that it is not violating copyright law and that major broadcasters should not be paid for the programming that it is facilitating. "Under the Copyright Act, petitioners have no right to royalties at all for retransmissions of their content within the original broadcast market," Aereo wrote in the brief.
