THE DISPUTE: Broadcasters went to court on Wednesday to try to stop a startup that takes live TV programming and sends it to mobile devices in New York for a monthly fee. They claim copyright infringement.
THE STAKES: The startup’s CEO says that if granted, a preliminary injunction sought by the plaintiffs would devastate it.
HOW IT WORKS: Aereo assigns each $12-a-month subscriber one of the tens of thousands of miniature antennas warehoused in Brooklyn. The setup allows users to capture over-the-air broadcasts for viewing on iPhones, iPads and computers.
