Round 1 to Diller as Aereo Injunction Denied
Judge rules against broadcasters, but they will appeal

Backed by Diller's IAC, Aereo—which delivers broadcast TV stations via the Internet—launched March 14 in New York and currently has 3,500 users. The service uses an array of tiny antenna the size of a dime to pick up local TV station signals and deliver them over the Internet to consumer devices.
