Judge Allows Internet Video for File-Sharing Hearing

A federal judge has agreed to allow streaming Internet video coverage of a key hearing for the U.S. recording industry's file-sharing $1 million lawsuit against a Boston University graduate. U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Gertner of Massachusetts ruled that existing courtroom cameras may be used to provide a live feed of a January 22 hearing in the Recording Industry of America's case against Joel Tenenbaum and others.
