RIAA manages to block trial by Internet
THE RIAA is so terrified its expected drubbing at the hands of a one of Harvard's top legal minds will get a wide dissemination that it has managed to block the trial being taped for the internet.
Harvard Law's Charlie Nesson is defending accused file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum and RIAA lawyers have opposed the webcasting plan, appealing the issue to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
While the Appeal court judges expressed some sympathy for Nesson's position there was no case law allowing Judge Gertner to have the discretion to allow recording.
The question is, why is the RIAA so frightened of the case being recorded? If it was so certain of its facts then surely it would be brilliant test case against P2P pirates. Or is it simply that it is facing Nesson rather than some grannie or child or single parent who does not know any law and it is worried that the kicking it is going to get is best left forgotten? µ

I think all they've done is publicised (INQ, why US spelling with a Z??) the trial to someone like me who didnt know it was going on.
Stupid Ass of America.
come on, get out of your moralistic freetard suit and get some reading done on the man.
Well there could be 2 reasons why they don't want it to be recorded.
1) This one being the most probable is that any expert in the field of computer forensics would poke huge holes in their data and state the obvious things like spoofing and botnet/malware scenarios.
2) An other possibility is that the arguments used in the case could be ammo for other P2P's to use against RIAA and/or know what is being collected as evidence to "convict" someone so that the P2P's hide their tracks better.
then upload it.
Right, so who's gonna sit in court through it all? ;-)
As He-Man would say.
Looks like the power of the organization is a bit more than expected. Who'd a thunk it?
Stand by thieves, the ax hasn't fallen yet ... but it's on its way down.
the reason they dont want it put on the web is because, any decent attorney can get you off it, and if this attorney does that. and it is streamed world wide. then everyone will know how to get off the charge, lol and streamed worldwide. its then all over for the RIAA
