Six days after the Supreme Court said Aereo’s business model violates copyright law, the company’s CEO took his fight to the streets Tuesday, asking Americans to rise up and demand the right to beam broadcasters’ signals to their computers — while paying Aereo’s fee to do so.
Aereo founder and CEO Chet Kanojia (pictured) announced Saturday that the company would halt its operations for the time being to sort out the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling. In the meantime, he is asking Aereo subscribers to ask Congress to do… something. It is unclear what that might be, since the court has already shot the company down.
