Injunction Sought Against Aereo in Utah

Another battlefront has opened up against Aereo's Internet TV service in Utah. Two broadcast TV affiliates are seeking a preliminary injunction against Aereo's service because the TV stations argue it "'engages in public performances for which it must obtain copyright licenses,'" the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Aereo streams free broadcast TV programming through individualized antennas dedicated to each of its subscribers. A Second Circuit decision rejecting the argument that Aereo's service infringes copyright is on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
