Wait. Whaaaat??? The content producers are getting their shows time-shifted for free with commercials, so more people will watch the commercials than otherwise would have been able to. Why are they even suing??? They should be sending Aereo flowers!!

(I know, a significant fraction of DVR users skip the commercials. But hasn't the number been shown to be around half, or less? I always skip commercials with the TiVo, but my wife never bothers. I figure that's probably roughly representative of the population.)
