As the U.S. Supreme Court takes up a dispute between television networks and online streaming service Aereo Inc., national broadcasters have asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to put a similar case on hold.
The networks sued online streaming company FilmOn X LLC in Washington federal court last year, accusing FilmOn of violating federal law by transmitting copyrighted material over the Internet. The networks lodged similar claims against Aereo, and appealed to the Supreme Court after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sided with Aereo.
