Is iCraveTV, the company that broadcasts television shows over the Internet, a pirate or a pioneer?

Ten major motion picture studios and three broadcasting companies say the company — and its putative president and chief executive officer, William R. Craig — are shameless cyberthiefs and have slammed iCraveTV and others with a lawsuit for copyright and trademark infringement, dilution, unfair competition, and civil conspiracy (Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. v. iCraveTV, W.D. Pa., No. 00121, filed 1/20/00).
