Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not seem persuaded. “It’s not logical to me,” she said, “that you can make these millions of copies and essentially sell them to the public.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Aereo’s business was built on taking content without paying for it. “You are the only player so far that doesn’t pay any royalties at any stage,” she told Mr. Frederick.

Some justices said they found the service suspiciously complicated. “Is there any reason you did it other than not to violate the copyright laws?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked Mr. Frederick.
