Judge Won't Lift FilmOn X Injunction
October 16, 2013
US District Judge Rosemary Collyer won't modify her near-nationwide injunction against Alki David's FilmOn X.
In September 2013, she concluded that broadcasters were likely to prevail in their copyright lawsuit against the digital TV service. Subsequently, a judge in Massachusetts declined to enjoin Aereo. Ironically, FilmOn could be rooting for the Supreme Court to agree to hear the broadcasters' appeal in the Aereo case. If that happens, there is at least the shot of a true change in controlling law that might impact FilmOn's ongoing battles with broadcasters in both DC and California.
