here to discuss that case and some of the technology surrounding this company is chet kanojia, ceo and founder of aereo. mr. kanojia, what is your strongest argument to the supreme court justices that you are not stealing broadcast signals? >> guest: and great start to the questions. i think all of our arguments are extremely strong. so if you start with the basics which is everybody acknowledges that consumers have the right to an antenna, everybody acknowledges a consumer has a right to make a recording of free to air content for themselves, everybody acknowledges there is nothing wrong with a combination of an antenna and, back then, a vcr, now a dvr. so the debate seems to be about where that equipment is located because nobody has appealed the finding of facts which is that each individual consumer controls their own antenna. the antenna is dead until the consumer instructs the antenna to tune to a particular frequency. each individual consumer makes their own copy, unique, distinct, never mingled with anybody else's, and transmits it to themselves. so none of those facts have bee

kanokia. 0-- kanojia. can you explain why it is rebroadcast pay th these, yet they are able to not provide any compensation back? >> the question holds so many loaded characterizations that i have to object to it myself. you can demonstrate, we do not sell content. we lease technology to consumers. number two, it was demonstrated we do not retransmit the consu mer. the vast differences between cable technology that capture the entire broadcast spectrum band and concert on wires irrespective of what a consumer asks for, that is retransmission. aneo is a classic case of antenna remotely located. that is the technological difference that as you read the it becomese case clear you have to move beyond characterization and look at the material issues underneath to understand the significant differences. third, as a matter of policy, cable companies do not make copyright payments for in-market transmissions. even after the act, it took a decade or later for congress to devise retransmission must carry. the purpos

>> chet kanojia, ceo of aereo, not backing down. what happens afte today? >> for aereo and the broadcasters, nothing happens. i am sure there will be some drinking done tonight because it has been a long journey for both sides. for the court, it is going to be like any other case. the justices are going to retire to their chambers and discuss the case and vote on it, a tentative vote. at the end of june, that is when we are likely to hear a decision on this case. for more on this, i want to bring in rich greenfield from btig, the media and entertainment analyst because he was in the court room. great to see you today. tell me how you think things went. >> the overall case was very hotly decided. the bottom line is there was no clear one direction. we heard two cases in the court room. one was slanted one way. you can tell there was fear. how do you write this decision if you were to say aereo is illegal? how do you write the decision without impacting cloud computing? there was concern about how you keep this from impacting other industries. chief justice r

chet kanojia told cbs news sunday morning that, in his opinion, it's all perfectly legal and is essentially the same as watching free tv with a rooftop antenna. >> we assign you one of these antennas and storage space in the cloud. it's unique, so you actually get your own antenna and your own storage space. >> reporter: but attorney paul clement, arguing on behalf of the major broadcast networks, including cbs, told the supreme court today that aereo is in clear violation of u.s. copyright laws and must pay for the use of programs the networks own. t there's nothing about the digital age that makes the copyright laws obsolete. >> reporter: some justices worried ruling against aereo could hamper the booming growth of the cloud. justice stephen breyer said he was nervous about what a possible decision against aereo is going to do to other technologies. other justices were skeptical of aereo's basic argument. chief justice john roberts told aereo's lawyer, there's no technological reason for you to have 10,000 dime-sized antenna, other than to get around the copyright laws. the court's decisi

i am counsel for chet kanojia. the supreme court heard the argument today. from our perspective, the issue in the case was whether consumers would always had a right to have an antenna and a dvr in their home can make copies of local over the air broadcast television. that right should be infringed simply by moving the antenna and the dvr to the cloud. the court's decision will have significant consequences for cloud computing. we are cautiously optimistic based on the way the hearing went today that the court understood that when a person watching over the air broadcast television in his or her home is engage in in a private performance and not a public performance, it would implicate the copyright act. thank you very much. >> what the broadcaster says -- >> thank you so much. questions -- no questions. sorry. >> some independent scientists look at it after it was on the market and found a gene that was normally silent was not. that gene produces an allergen. you may have an allergic reaction and someone may die from eating the corn that is genetically engi
