Aereo CEO Chet Kanojia's demeanor was downright subdued today, despite his win in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The court rejected a request from ABC, NBC, CBS, and other top broadcasters to issue a preliminary injunction against Aereo, the company he founded. The ruling means Aereo, which streams live TV to internet subscribers without compensating the networks, will not be shut down and therefore is a step closer to throwing traditional TV into a state of chaos.
"I'm very excited about how the courts are reading the law," the CEO told The Verge. "They are judging this case on the merits and not on anything else. This is great validation, but all in all, I look at this as just the next step."
