  • Dish Hopper Case: a Narrow Reading of Aereo
    Reprinted with Permission from Law360 Dish Hopper Case: A Narrow Reading Of Aereo Law360, New York (February 04, 2015, 10:56 AM ET) -- James Dowd U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer promised that the high court’s holding in Aereo was limited. And at least one federal judge seems to agree. In one of the first opinions to apply Aereo, U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee of the Central District of California – in the case Fox Broadcasting Company et al. v. Dish Network LLC et al. – rejected Fox’s claim that Aereo applies to the Dish Network’s Hopper technology. The Andrea Weiss Jeffries Jan. 20 decision is one of several that may ultimately confine the impact of Aereo. Last year, after the Supreme Court issued its opinion, legal observers warned that Aereo threatened the legal status of online cloud computing and streaming services. Concerned commentators echoed Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent, where he signaled frustration with the majority’s apparent disregard for the volitional conduct requirement for direct copyright infringement — a test that had been applied by all of the courts of appeals. He concluded that Elaine Zhong the majority created a “two-tier” version of the Copyright Act, “one part of which applies to ‘cable companies and their equivalents’ while the other governs everyone else.”[1] One commentator wrote that the “uncertainty created by the court seems bound to chill innovation.”[2] While the court’s ruling disrupted Aereo’s business — Aereo filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection just five months after the Supreme Court’s decision — Judge Gee in Fox rejected the notion that Aereo was “gamechanging” with respect to Dish’s Hopper products.
