Fox Moves To Use Aereo Ruling Against Dish Streaming Service

Posted by timothy on Sunday June 29, 2014 @08:53AM from the crossing-the-streams dept.

An anonymous reader writes A day after a surprise U.S. Supreme Court decision to outlaw streaming TV service Aereo, U.S. broadcaster Fox has moved to use the ruling to clamp down on another internet TV service. Fox has cited Wednesday's ruling – which found Aereo to be operating illegally – to bolster its claim against a service offered by Dish, America's third largest pay TV service, which streams live TV programming over the internet to its subscribers and allows them to copy programmes onto tablet computers for viewing outside the home.

Time shifting is perfectly legal under fair use for your own use, but not when you do it for someone else.

Is it one of those things, like sex and human organs, that you can give away for free but you can't charge money for it?
