As new technologies continue to emerge and threaten to upend long-standing business norms in the cable and satellite industry, both content providers and distributors have turned to the courts in a range of contractual and intellectual property disputes. Various disputes have arisen concerning the ability to stream television programming via the internet for viewing on non-traditional platforms such as Apple’s iPad and other mobile devices, commercial-skipping DVRs, and the use of remote, internet-enabled DVR technology on personal computers, smartphones, and other transportable media. These new innovations have generated considerable debate and uncertainty as content providers and distributors have struggled to analyze them against the backdrop of pre-existing licensing contracts and the copyright laws.
