Aereo CEO Asks Consumers to Rise Up and Fight for Aereo

Aereo founder and CEO Chet Kanojia is asking Americans to rise up and demand the right to beam broadcasters’ signals to their computers -- while paying Aereo's fee to do so.

He is asking Aereo subscribers to ask Congress to do… something. It is unclear what that might be, since the court has already shot the company down.

“Today, I'm asking you to raise your hands and make your voices heard. Tell your lawmakers how disappointed you are that the nation's highest court issued a decision that could deny you the right to use the antenna of your choice to access live over-the-air broadcast television. Tell them your stories of why having access to a cloud-based antenna is important to you and your families. Show them you care about this issue,” he wrote in an appeal to Aereo subscribers.
