The parties are in court trying to figure out, after Charter and TWC closed their $71.4 billion merger in May, which cable company's agreement governs Spectrum's carriage of Fox News. (Univision and Showtime have filed similar suits on the same subject.)

Charter was paying more per subscriber than TWC was, so naturally, Charter now wants »

A judge agreed with Warner Bros, Disney and 20th Century Fox that VidAngel was likely violating copyright law by breaking the encryption on DVDs and Blu-Rays to stream digital content of hit movies and television shows. Despite the ruling, VidAngel touted its financial resources and pledged to aggressively pursue an appeal.

But the road ahead might not be so easy for the upstart.
