A US court hearing between the RIAA and a Boston student will be streamed live on the web.
US District Judge Nancy Gertner has allowed the Courtroom View Network to send a live video feed of the hearing to Harvard University's Berkman Centre for Internet & Society. From there it will go live to the rest of the planet.
The RIAA argued that the streaming could prejudice potential jurors but the claim was rejected as "specious."
It is more likely that the RIAA is worried that it will lose and wants to limit the number of people who find out about it.
The Music Industry Mafia is going up against some of the best legal minds in Harvard.
