Cloudy future for Australian cloud based DVR's

Do you think Australia is going to be left behind the USA in a legal limbo with the Cloud DVR ruling last year -  http://www.zdnet.com/cloud-tvrs-stop-in-wake-of-tv-now-ruling-1339338503/
Should www.MyTVR.com etc sold their soul to Channel 9 or similar and allowed one (or more) of the tv channels to buy into their cap table in order to steer the decisions a different way?

With the cablevision "remote hard drive" ruling in the USA (http://blog.collins.net.pr/search?q=cablevision) isnt there some kind of IP harmonization tack that can be tried - or even once the Aereo case works its way through the courts (saw they launched in Boston last week) is this a possible alternative challenge with the rental of "per user antennas?

Anyone closer to the action in Australia know whats going on?
