RIAA "appeals" from order allowing hearing to be televised in SONY BMG Music v. Entertainment

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

ADVERTISEMENTS

In SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum, the RIAA has filed a notice of appeal from the Court's interlocutory order allowing the January 22nd oral argument to be televised over the internet.

Additionally, it has filed a motion for stay addressed to Judge Gertner.

Notice of appeal
District Court Motion for Stay

[Ed. note. I am not familiar with the procedure the RIAA employed. As far as I know, they were not allowed to file a notice of appeal from an interlocutory order. If anyone out there has any contrary information for me, I would be pleased to hear it. I gather from their papers that they are also filing a writ of prohibition in the First Circuit, but I haven't seen it, and I don't understand the filing of the notice of appeal. -R.B.]
