FilmOn Loses Injunction Challenge in DC

Rosemary Collyer, United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, has denied FilmOn's motion to stay the court's injunction against the company's streaming of local TV stations over the Web as part of its FilmOn X online programming service.

The injunction is effective in DC and was applied to other markets nationwide, though not in markets in the Second Circuit, which declined to enjoin a similar service, Aereo. FilmOn Founder Alki David says he will comply, but that he has plenty of other channels to deliver. FilmOn was under a Sept 9 deadline for taking down local signals of the Big Four affiliates in all.
