Les Moonves on Aereo Ruling: ‘It’s a Very Good Day For Our Future’

By Merrill Knox 

CBS CEO Les Moonves appeared on Bloomberg TV this afternoon to respond to this morning’s Aereo ruling. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the streaming television service was illegally rebroadcasting content from the major broadcast networks, including CBS.

“All that’s important here is that broadcasters and cable content companies and everyone who’s involved with the content producing business gets paid appropriately for their content,” Moonves said. “And that somebody can’t come and take that content, charge for it, and not pay us back for that content.  So it’s a very good day for our future.” Watch:
