RIAA vs. Tenenbaum No Longer to be Webcast

The United States first circuit has overturned the previous decision to allow video of the case of RIAA vs.. Tenenbaum to be broadcast live over the internet.  Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson had previously received a decision from the US District Court that would have allowed the webcast to take place.  I’m disappointed to hear about this decision, simply because I was very interested in watching it to see how the case played out, but it seems to be a clear cut decision based on the fact that the current law states no cameras are allowed in the court room.   The article linked below has a link to the court’s full decision.
