MEMORANDUM & ORDER
GORTON, District Judge.
This ease arises out of a copyright infringement dispute between two media companies. Plaintiff Hearst Stations Inc. (“Hearst”), which owns the local television station WCVB-TV (“WCVB”), alleges that defendant Aereo, Inc. (“Aereo”) is intercepting its television signals and converting its programs into a different format for retransmitting over the internet without compensating WCVB. That, says plaintiff, infringes WCVB’s exclusive rights under the Copyright Act.
