Bloomberg: 21st Century Fox’s television unit said it will appeal a ruling that Internet streaming service FilmOn might be entitled to a compulsory license as a cable TV provider to transmit broadcasters’ programming. A federal judge in Los Angeles put his ruling on hold for Fox and other broadcasters to appeal his decision and left in place an earlier order that shut down FilmOn’s service until the lawsuit has been resolved. “This advisory opinion contravenes all legal precedent,” said a Fox spokesman.
