SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum will be televised over the internet

By Handakte

District Judge Nancy Gertner has granted so much of the defendant’s motion as sought to televise, over the internet, the January 22, 2009, oral arguments of the parties’ motions concerning the defendant’s counterclaims, in SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum.

The ruling does not address the issue of televising subsequent proceedings, including the trial.

This is believed to be the first time that proceedings in an RIAA case will be televised. (If anyone has any contrary information, please let me know.).

CVN will ?narrowcast? the audio-visual coverage to the website of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, which will make the recording publicly available for all non-commercial uses via its website.

The argument will be on Thursday, January 22nd, at 2:00 p.m.
