Arguments were heard yesterday, 4/22/14. I haven't read the full transcript yet, but my impression ain't so hot for Aereo. For instance, Chief Justice Roberts asked (paraphrasing) why Aereo needed thousands of dime sized antennas if the purpose wasn't to "skirt copyright law." What a difference one word makes -- "skirt" versus "follow."
One of the justices apparently thinks there's magic in that dime sized array! He's concerned that Aereo could rebroadcast HBO along with every program transmitted around the globe and charge for it. Maybe someone on the court knows enough about the curvature of the earth to set him straight... Ya think??
We'll learn the outcome in about two months, toward the end of June. :eyes:
