It's 'Game On' for FilmOn

摘要

Tv broadcasters are facing a second front in their battle over online transmission of their signals via remote antenna/DVR technology. Like in the first front, the entrenched troops are wearing wingtips and firing off legal missiles. In August, Aereo TV got a green light from a district court to continue to offer local TV station signals, at least until the court hears arguments in a broadcaster challenge to the service. Now FilmOn, which was enjoined by a court two years ago from streaming TV station signals without paying for them, has adopted Aereo's technology and started streaming stations online again, using the district court's decision not to enjoin Aereo as ammunition.
