Given all these rulings against Aereo and the "looks like a duck" test, is a retailer guilty of copyright infringement if they sell antennas with extension cables?

So according to the above, either you can get sued for what someone else posts on your website or you can't. Which is it, Ms. McAlister-Holland?
Meanwhile, an author in New Zealand claimed that libraries were engaging in grand theft by loaning books. Brian Edwards is still claiming that. In fact, he's come up with a name for the 'crime': grand theft biblio. ;)
