      You can still do it yourself,'just not with a service.

      That means I have to go and put antennas in all the cities I want to pick up signals from .. lol..

          I knew this was going to happen. Now all streaming services that stream over the air broadcasts will be under attack

              As far as I'm concerned, copyright is dead. With the continued extension of copyright into perpetuity, congress and the people who fund them have stolen from me all of the stuff that should by now be in the public domain. They steal from me, I steal from them in return.

                @Nic Mickey Mouse entered the public domain years ago.

                And unlike Holst in the UK, the US has no mechanism for putting public domain under copyright.

                      Haven't you heard of the word retroactive? I am certain that someone with financial interest could manage to get it done if they wanted.

                        At first I thought this was the Cadbury chocolate bar. First Kinder then Aero. But it was just a typo I guess.

                          Ha ha, I thought the same thing too when I first saw this...

                          Aero

                                I do love Aero bars. In the US Hershey's launched Air Delight as a competitor, so I'm happy about that too.

                                    Aereo is actually going to pivot their business model. They're going to take all the unwanted children born to Hobby Lobby employees who can't afford birth control, and sell them to consumers to stand outside their houses and hold up TV antennas. Win win!
