Fox Broadcasting Wins Court Order Halting Aereo in Utah
Posted in: UncategorizedFox Broadcasting won a court order halting Barry Diller-backed Aereo’s online-TV service in Utah while the U.S. Supreme Court weighs whether it infringes broadcasters’ copyrights.
U.S. District Judge Dale A. Kimball in Salt Lake City yesterday granted the request by Fox to block the service while the Supreme Court case is pending, saying Fox and the local TV stations that brought the lawsuit were likely to succeed on the merits of their infringement claims and would suffer irreparable harm without an injunction.
That’s an unusual result for Aereo, which has typically been allowed to continue operating while the broader legal challenges continue.
