Another very timely article.

Two points that shouldn't be missed:

1. This is a streaming service, as described here. Which means, this is an Internet-based "linear model."

2. I'll bet the beef is that the content owners don't have control over who gets to view these copied streams.

This is a slam dunk for the media congloms.

You cannot steal their content then charge for it...

And it also bypasses the market structure of broadcasting that protects the local broadcaster.
