Judge allows Web streaming in RIAA case

January 19, 2009 12:00 PM ET

Computerworld - Internet users will have the unusual opportunity on Thursday to view a federal-court hearing in a music piracy lawsuit filed by the Recording Industry Association of America against a Boston University graduate student.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner last week authorized the Courtroom View Network to send a live video feed of the hearing to Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. The center, in turn, will stream the video on its Web site.

The RIAA argued that the streaming could prejudice potential jurors -- a claim that Gertner labeled "specious." However, she limited the streaming to this week's hearing, saying she would later decide whether to allow it in subsequent proceedings.

This version of the story originally appeared in Computerworld's print edition.
