<<Interesting question: Since the cable companies have to pay the broadcasters to carry their programs, won't Aereo be required to, as well? When you include copyright/piracy issues, seems like the Supreme Court decision will be particularly interesting.>>

Aereo uses antennas, cable companies do not.

In effect, Aereo is a combination Antenna + DVR + Slingbox. If it's legal for consumers to purchase and use these items, then why should it be illegal for Aereo to aggregate the technology and sell it as a service?
