RIAA Tries To Appeal Order Allowing Internet TV Court Broadcast

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA has appealed the order entered several days ago allowing the January 22nd hearing in SONY BMG Music v. Tenenbaum to be streamed over internet TV. Additionally, they've made a motion for a stay. I'm just a country lawyer, but as far as I know: (a) it's not possible to appeal the order, (b) it was procedurally improper and ineffective to file a notice of appeal, and (c) it was improper to direct their motion for a stay to the District Court Judge. Well, let's hope the arguments in the First Circuit will be streamed, too. Meanwhile, one commentator wonders why the tooth and nail opposition to broadcasting, since the professed aim of the litigations was to 'educate' the public?"

    No you said it's "(a) it's not possible to appeal the order"

    It's not possible for you to make an intelligent post.

    Try all you want. You will fail.

    Bring back the steve jobs/coprophiliac copy-paste trolling. This is the blandest garbage I've ever seen on slashdot.

    Take a look at his comment history. Almost all of his 400+ posts read like mine above. Heh, I'm actually getting chuckles out of that rager's posts. Unfortunately, NYCL was troll'd.
