judge in the state of New York Aereo, which broadcasts online without paying a fee for media companies, does not infringe the copyright

mogul turned Internet mogul Barry Diller Press won a major battle with broadcasters Monday about its plans to offer TV on the web.

by a vote of two against a federal appeals court dismissed the major media companies such as Disney, CBS and News Corporation to stop Air, a company backed by Diller, to educate their programs through the Internet.

Aereo subscribers pay $ 12 a month to listen to the live broadcast television on mobile devices. The company, owned by IAC Diller, fees not pay media companies which distributed programs. Air, which launched in March 2012 in the region and plans to expand to 22 U.S. cities of New York, said that because small antennas assigned to each client who is not in violation of the law.

The court cited the case of Cablevision, which won the right to establish a system based in the cloud for their clients in 2008 digital video recorder. But one dissenting judge, Denny Chin called Aereo technology "a farce." Chin wrote that the company uses a variety of dishes to enjoy a "loophole in the law is perceived."

"Today's decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals once again validates that Aereo technology falls squarely within the law - and that's a good thing for consumers who want more options and flexibility how, when and where you can watch TV, "said Chet Kanojia, Aereo CEO and founder, in a statement. "It may be a small start-up, but we still believe in standing and fighting for our consumers."



The case is unlikely to stop here. Broadcasters, including PBS and Fox said they were considering their options. "The court ruled that it's okay to steal copyrighted material and retransmit without compensation. Although we are disappointed with this decision, we have, and we study our options to protect our programming," said the group in a statement.
