Right, but that's just technical semantics, really. Aereo installs an individual antenna for every person to skirt around existing rules. By any objective analysis it's a total waste of time and money.
But that was the only technical method that was available to comply with the law. The supreme court practically laid out that business model for them in a prior decision.
It's a total waste of time and money, but it's also legal.
It's actually legal semantics, which are the only relevant semantics here. Aereo must jump through these ridiculous hoops for their service to remain within the letter of the law.
One person's "To skirt around" is another's "To comply with".
