the cases previously linked to said as long as the CATV or cable company etc were delivering an unaltered broadcast then they were not breaching the copyright of the broadcaster. so the copyright to the entire stream belongs to the broadcaster.
the catv/cable/satellite company may only act as a conduit to bring the stream to the customers house. this case rests on whether it can be shown that the hopper commercial skipper acts prior to the consumer. if it does than its infringement if it doesnt than dish is in the clear
