The truth is Music Publishers want to "Kill" Pandora - They want keep a obsolete business model - this would also benefit the NAB (terrestrial radio - which is dying) http://qz.com/197344/pandora-a...

Not sure where you're getting your information, but I'm an Aereo subscriber in Houston - The people living in Sidney Australia can't watch Aereo USA - you have to live in Houston to receive Houston stations - I can't watch stations in L.A., New York, Chicago, etc,... - only Houston (they check zip codes & monitor IP addresses)
