iCrave probably in trouble (Score 2)

I think the real shame here is that the cable company haven't viewed this as an opportunity to further their broadcast technology. iCrave have come up with a cool way to broadcast to people over the web, but have unfortunately broken copyright laws in order to do it. Mr Corporate Cable guy has then jumped in with both feet and decided to sue. Surely there could be a collaboration of some sort here that would allow people to get better access to these channels?

It's a bit like the MP3 argument all over again - excellent distribution medium, excellent quality product - but unfortunately against copyright and therefore illegal.
