Locast ceased all operations Thursday after broadcasters pushed for a permanent injunction against the streaming app. A federal court ruled Wednesday that Locast was not protected by an exception to US Copyright Law reserved for non-profits and government organizations retransmitting broadcasters’ signals. “As a non-profit, Locast was designed from the very beginning to operate in accordance with the strict letter of the law, but in response to the court’s recent rulings, with which we respectfully disagree, we are hereby suspending operations, effective immediately,” the company said in a statement.
