"In his first statement following Aereo's defeat in the U.S. Supreme Court case Aereo v. ABC et al. (6 to 3), CEO and founder Chet Kanojia called the decision a \"massive setback for the American consumer\" and added that \"our work is not done.\"\nSee also: Aereo's Supreme Court Defeat: The Winners and The Losers\n\u201CToday\u2019s decision by the United States Supreme Court is a massive setback for the American consumer. We\u2019ve said all along that we worked diligently to create a technology that complies with the law, but today\u2019s decision clearly states that how the technology works does not matter. This sends a chilling message to the technology industry.  It is troubling that the Court states in its decision that, \u2018to the extent commercial actors or other interested entities may be concerned with the relationship between the development and use of such technologies and the Copyright Act, they are of course free to seek action from Congress.\u2019 (Majority, page 17) That begs the question: Are we moving towards a permission-based system for technology innovation?\nKanojia also praised Justice Antonin Scalia's dissent: \"Justice Scalia\u2019s dissent gets it right. He calls out the majority\u2019s opinion as \u2018built on the shakiest of foundations.'\" Scalia argued that the ruling could affect cloud-storage providers, despite the Court's claims. \n\u201CWe are disappointed in the outcome, but our work is not done,\" Kanojia continued. \"We will continue to fight for our consumers and fight to create innovative technologies that have a meaningful and positive impact on our world.\"\nIt's unclear how Aereo might continue at this point. Barry Diller, the chief investor in Aereo, told CNBC: \"We did try, but it's over now.\"\nOne option is for Aereo to attempt to become a cable company, which would require it to apply for a compulsory license. When asked if Aereo would go that route, an Aereo spokesperson said: \"That's the open question the court decision seems to open.\"\nHave something to add to this story?
