I guess I didn't realize that.
Any IP stream is also easier to record and illegally distribute. The
studios fought VHS as well.

Yeah, I get that argument, but this service only works if you have an
in-market IP address... you're still watching the exact same channel
you would be if you used an antenna, it's just changing how you get
it. Granted there are ways around that, but if you're going to go to
the hassle to make it work, there are lots of other illegal or
questionable ways to do it too.

Because it breaks things like blackout for NFL games. NFL can't
charge you for NFL network if you can watch the game you want on
the local channel to the game if you are out of market. This
causes stress on the arrangement say CBS and the NFL have. You
could say FU its free... but the DMZ's and FCC licenses never
envisioned that content being on the other side of the country.
Also your viewership isn't tracked by Nielsen, so it won't
increase ad buy revenue for the station. If anything it would
hurt the local affiliate if your watching CBS in New York City
instead of CBS in Dallas. If CBS allowed it, the affiliates would
be upset.
Also there is a strong slippery slope argument they feel, just
like many do on gun control or prayer in the schools. If they
cede ground to IPTV streaming, they fear the entire value of the
local transmission rights will be diminished (and those licenses
are valuable... don't have doubt in that).

What I can't figure out, is why do they even care? Aren't all
they doing is providing the local OTA channels to the same area
that they're available to OTA? it's not like they're giving
people access to channels in the wrong market... it seems like
the broadcasters should be happy they're making it easier for
people to watch their commercials...

I'd tell them to fuck off and declare retransmission fees and
agreements of freely broadcast information illegal.
