Broadcasters took issue with Aereo and filed a lawsuit alleging breach of copyright law (http://mashable.com/2012/03/01/aereo-sued-broadcasters/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) for the startup's retransmission of content without consent.
