There is a narrow exception for free over the air TV.

Are you saying that NBC does not pay anyone for the rights to broadcast a movie?

No. You don't pay to watch NBC over the air. Aereo tried to be the one to watch for free and then redistribute it to you also for free (to them).

You don't pay to watch NBC over the air.

And yet that has nothing to do with content producers being compensated.
