Aereo Declines to Oppose Cert Motion

Aereo sent me a copy of a statement from its CEO, Chet Kanojia, in which Kanojia explains the company's decision not to oppose broadcasters' request for certatori before the US Supreme Court. Essentially, they'd rather not have to fight this out district by district, Circuit by Circuit. While I sympathize with this desire it's important to keep in mind that SCOTUS denies the vast majority of cert petitions. In situations like these where there is only one Circuit decision and every other district has aligned with that decision I think it's extremely unlikely that this petition is going to be granted unless there are four Justices that want to revisit Cablevision.
