FilmOn thumbs nose at TV streaming ban, faces contempt of court charge

FilmOn has been trying to ride the coattails of recent legal victories by Aereo, a start-up that lets subscribers watch and record over-the-air TV for $8 a month. Broadcasters, which have tried and failed to shut down Aereo for copyright infringement, have had more luck with FilmOn; Fox, CBS and others persuaded a DC court in September to issue an injunction barring FilmOn from streaming anywhere in the country outside three states where a higher court has said such streaming is legal. - Jeff John Roberts
