Myth-Busting The Aereo Decision: No, The Supreme Court Didn't Kill It... Nor Did They Kill Dropbox

And, worse still, this ruling will have a chilling effect on other cloud services, innovation and perhaps even your right to enjoy cat videos in the comfort of your home. (OK, maybe the last one is an exaggeration!)
