Dish can keep streaming TV anywhere after Fox’s Aereo argument fails
July 14, 2014
Three weeks after the Supreme Court shut down Aereo for streaming TV over the Internet without permission, a court in California has given the green light for satellite TV company Dish to continue selling a service that does much the same thing.
In a short ruling, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals refused a request by Fox to shut down “Dish Anywhere,” which lets consumers record the broadcasters’ shows on a DVR and then beam them over the Internet to a computer or mobile device.
In its ruling, the 9th Circuit upheld a lower court’s finding that Fox was unlikely to suffer serious harm if Dish Anywhere was not shut down pending a copyright trial.
