摘要

Broadcasters asked the full 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear their case for a preliminaryninjunction against online TV service Aereo, in a petition for an en banc hearing filed Monday. In thenfiling, the plaintiffs, including major broadcasters such as Fox, NBCUniversal and Disney, said the panelnmade a “major error” in its 2-1 decision April 1 to deny the preliminary injunction to stop Aereo from distributingnNew York City TV signals to online subscribers without broadcaster consent. They said thencourt’s majority opinion “upends decades of settled expectations in the broadcasting industry."
