Copyright Battle Over Broadcast Streaming Services Getting Personal Between Rivals?

While streaming TV services Aereo and FilmOn X have a common cause in fighting the boundaries of copyright law and broadcast TV networks' exclusive rights to public performance of their programming, the firms' leaders seem to have have personal animus toward each other - or at least the CEO of FilmOn does after originally calling his firm Aereokiller until sued by Aereo on the name issue. The Verge reports FilmOn's billionaire owner accused Aereo of pursuing denial of service attacks against his firm in a tweet: '"@ckanojia - hey fuckhead, if you keep ddosing FilmOn you are going to pay in more ways than you can imagine.' A second message from David's account followed a few minutes later. 'What you are doing is like breaking into someone's home and smashing their shit up,' the tweet said. 'Fortunately [you] lame fuck, my geeks are smarter.'"
