megahits like “This Is Us”
Bkmrk.
As long as they’re not charging for use of the ap, and aren’t providing any controls to block the advertisements, I don’t see where the networks will say boo.
I can see them cutting a deal with the networks in future, after they can prove usage numbers to them. If those numbers are in the millions, Locast will be in a very good position to make great profits from this.
Nowadays I imagine paid streaming services like Roku and Amazon will line up to sue this guy also.
I used Aereo and loved it.
Locast currently runs on a loan from an undisclosed person. Its backers, a sports-fan advocacy group simply called the Sports Fans Coalition, hope user donations will fund the service.A "loan from an undisclosed person"
"Hoping users will 'donate.'"
"Would Love to Get Sued."
What sort of business model is that? What is Locast founder David Goodfriend up to? Is hoping to attract big lawsuits, defend Locast pro bono, and get the losers to pay him his legal fees?
