Hmmmm... IMHO once a broadcaster freely releases their signal to the world over the airwaves, available to anyone with a TV and a set of rabbit ears, their ability to restrict the rebroadcast (or simulcast) should end.
Does anyone remember the big stink brought up by MediaOne vs local TV channels over this very same subject? The TV stations wanted to charge the cable companies for the honor of carrying their stations, but why should cable companies have to pay for someting the TV stations make available for free? It's all rather silly, to me.
