摘　　要："Aereo案"是长期困扰美国版权司法界的一大难题,新技术环境下如何理解和适用传输条款是解决本案的关键。美国联邦第二巡回法院与美国联邦最高法院却对此给出了完全不同的判决。美国联邦第二巡回法院遵循"Cablevison案"所确立的传统规则而承认了Aereo公司行为的正当性,美国联邦最高法院却通过首次确立"类似有线电视系统"标准将Aereo公司的行为纳入"公开表演权"的规制范围。美国联邦最高法院的这一判决虽在一定程度上突破了以往判决的认定,但并不违背"基于意志"的行为规则,而且也符合技术发展的特点和现行法律的解释方法,具有一定的前瞻性。Aereo case is a big trouble having plagued American courts for a long time,how to understand and apply the Transmit Clause is the key role of this case under the new technological environment. The Second Circuit Court and the US Supreme Court have made a complete different decition on the same case. The Second Circuit Court admited the justifi cation of Aereo following the traditional rule established in Cablevison case, while the US Supreme Court ruled what Aereo had done was falling within the scope of Public performance right by seting ＂looks-like-cable-TV＂ standard at the fi rst time. The decition made by the US Supreme Court breaks the previous judgment to some extent,which has certain foresightedness,but it dosn’t violate ＂volitional conduct＂ rule and is Consistent with the characteristics of technological development and means of legal explanation.
