I have no comment other than I will miss this article when football season ends. That is all.

It's not so much that the content they were broadcasting was free, but that they did not have the rights to it. If I set up a TV on my lawn and show a baseball game without the express written consent of baseball, and then invite the entire neighborhood (not just my friends and relatives) then I am breaking the law. …

While Aereo was cool, I can't fault the decision either. Aereo was making a profit (or trying to anyway) for broadcasting someone else's content. If they did it for free, they may have had a better argument (but probably still would have lost).
