That\u2019s because many broadcast stations, whose signals go out over the public airwaves for all to receive, have fought tooth and nail in the courts to keep their signals off of the Internet.

Wu of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled that TV streaming service FilmOn was identical to a cable system for purposes of copyright, and can stream local broadcast channels, including affiliates of NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox, as long as it pays the fees set by law. This sensible ruling rejects the Internet-phobic position taken by broadcasters and the U.S. Copyright Office, a position that privileges established players like Comcast\/NBCUniversal while locking out newer competitors.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2015\/07\/filmon-can-use-cable-systems-copyright-license-stream-broadcast-tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2015\/07\/filmon-can-use-cable-systems-copyright-license-stream-broadcast-tv<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadcastlawblog.com\/2015\/07\/articles\/a-compulsory-license-for-internet-tv-platforms-to-retransmit-broadcast-tv-one-us-district-court-considering-filmonx-seems-to-think-so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.broadcastlawblog.com\/2015\/07\/articles\/a-compulsory-license-for-internet-tv-platforms-to-retransmit-broadcast-tv-one-us-district-court-considering-filmonx-seems-to-think-so\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of our TV-watching comes over the Internet today.
