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?"

    You missed my point.

    Totally.

    They did someting you claim is impossible, so your claim is clearly not accurate.

      "He meant the act of that actually bringing about an appeal is impossible. which it is. and they have not done, nor will. So his claim is 100% accurate."

      No it isn't.

      You're artificually confining the definition of the word to what makes his assertion correct.

      They CAN appeal.

      There may be NO LEGAL BASIS for their appeal to succeed, but that CAN and HAVE appealed, so you're both wrong now.

      And this is stupid, you're both arguing they can't do something they've already done.

      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.

    Well mods I'm disappointed. In my attempt to get this "lawyer" to actually clarify what he meant, and avoid posting his useless opinion in place of fact, you decided I was a troll.

    And yet, I;m still factually corrct and this "lawyer" isn't.

    Making people be ACCURATE with their discriptions of the case doesn't make me a troll, and if NewYorkCountry"so-called"lawyer ahd any self respect, he'd admit I was right and his description of the situtation was unclear at best.

    What's that, I didn't slurp the pet-anti-RIAA "lawyer"? Oh, THAT'S why you think I'm a troll. I get it now.

    Yeah I'm talking to you. The wannabe computer programmer who thinks they are good at computers because they can click around the computer enough times and find the reboot button and 'fix' an inherently flawed windows system. You think you're cool because you can pirate photoshop but not know anything about it, get Microsoft Office for free but have the literacy of a 1st grader when writing a paper, and get a copy of Norton Anti-virus because your inherently flawed system is useless without Administrative privileges. Get a clue, you are not smart, you are just a corporate sheep for a company that will bury you if you ever tried to write any software that did anything remotely useful. You are a clickaround and all you know is your ugly gray existence that is Windows.

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

    Shut the fuck up, you goddamn idiot! I'm trying to read this diccussion and I'm not interested in your pissant pedantry. One wonders why the fuck you're allowed to post that many times in a single discussion anyway.

    CuloCulo, you're just a stupid first-year law school dropout. NYCL gets all the pussy while you're stuck beating your shrivelled, uncircumsized needledick on weekends. Even your own dog hates you.

    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.
