Aereo, Citing Tweets And Conference Calls, Fires Off A New Legal Salvo At CBS

AllThingD's Peter Kafka reports on the latest legal wrangling between broadcast start-up Aereo and CBS.

•CBS, one of the broadcasters that is suing Aereo, has said it will oppose Aereo every time it opens in a new market, with a new suit. Last month, CBS spokesman Dana McClintock warned of new lawsuits via Twitter (at least twice), and CBS CEO Les Moonves said the same thing during an earnings call last week.

•Aereo, which cites both men in its complaint, is essentially asking the same court that granted it its first legal victory — New York’s Southern District — to preemptively rule against CBS in any of the cities it has announced plans to enter this year.
