Gary Shapiro on RealClearPolicy.com: "Watching TV is not illegal, any way you do it"
Check out what CEA President and CEO, Gary Shapiro, had to say in his latest RealClearPolicy.com column! This week, Gary discusses why established media powers are attempting to use the court system to stifle innovation. "In May, broadcasters took on DISH Network to challenge its advanced 'Hopper' DVR system, which allows consumers to automatically skip over commercials in some cases. On Friday, a judge in California rejected a preliminary injunction against DISH while the case is determined, but Fox has appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, broadcasters are going after Aereo, a web-based service that helps New York City residents receive over-the-air television. In large cities like New York, skyscrapers often block traditional over-the-air signals, so Aereo provides customers with a special antenna that improves reception," said Shapiro. Do you think these lawsuits stifle innovation? Check out and comment on the full article on RealClearPolicy.com.
